The Wow in the classroom. Development and certification of edtech standards with emerging technologies
The Wow in the Classroom project. Development and certification of edtech standards with emerging technologies, was born with the purpose of facilitating the innovative use of educational content with the use of disruptive technologies in the classrooms of educational centers developed by edtech startups, thus promoting their national and international competitiveness. This project is partially financed by ACCIÓ (Generalitat de Catalunya) within IRC (Initiatives to Strengthen Competitiveness).
The WOW project is based on the development and certification of edtech interoperability standards for innovative learning experiences. The project connects Wow products based on the international standards of 1edtech.org, providing innovative content with the use of emerging technologies. Each partner has developed the connection with the standards in their Wow proposal and has made this documentation publicly so that other companies can see examples of success.
This project has been led by EduTech Cluster, a leading cluster in educational innovation that provides solutions and methodologies that benefit both the daily lives of teachers and students.
From Ilike Education, an educational innovation company, a proposal has been defined on how to unify the various innovative solutions in a classroom through LMS (Learning Management System) of the centers. The traditional LMS system has usually been through the LTI (Learning Tool Interoperability) web server through digital books and academic management, and in this project emerging LTI technologies such as artificial intelligence, video games or virtual reality have been used.
Innovative companies with different specialties have participated in WOW in the Classroom project:
- Integration systems (3ipunt)
- Integration in virtual reality (Immersium Studio)
- Integration in app (Go Zero Waste)
- Integration of an AI (Adaptical)
- Integration of robotics (ilike Education)
At Immersium Studio we develop learning experiences for both educational institutions and companies and we frequently deliver these trainings through LMS. To offer our services it is important to be able to connect with these LMS to facilitate:
- Registration of users to the experience
- Access by users to the training experience from the LMS
- The registration in the LMS of the training activities carried out in the experience
All of these systems built around LMS have been synchronized with the tools and technologies to develop our interactive virtual reality training products. To do this, we have established the set of connections with communication services such as Amazon AWS, DynamoDB, serverless code along with our custom tools created in Immersium Studio. All of this is optimized and adjusted to ensure a synchronized and efficient flow.
We are very happy to have been able to participate in this project, which will be very useful in classrooms and in a training environment. Connecting complex technologies such as AI, mobile phones or immersive spaces to school platforms will facilitate access for teachers and students to these new solutions.
