Bridging the Gap to Successful Project-Based Learning with Inspirit 

There is no better way to complement your Project-Based Learning (PBL) initiatives than by creating engaging and interactive experiences in virtual reality (VR). VR provides users with a computer-generated simulation of a 3D image or environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real and physical way. Inspirit offers user-friendly, innovative VR headsets that are perfect for any makerspace!

What is Inspirit VR?

Inspirit VR powerfully merges the physical and digital worlds, immersing students with 360° views and visual and auditory stimuli. Students can dive into complex topics and work hands-on to develop practical, advanced skills within a stimulating 3D environment. Using the Inspirit Learning Hub platform, teachers can easily assign engaging experiences that make concepts more concrete and memorable. Educators can create AI-generated lesson plans, roster classes through LMS systems, and access detailed analytics to track learner progress for targeted support.

Inspirit VR has thought of it all when it comes to making VR learning easy for teachers and students. The comprehensive content library offers unique virtual experiences across a broad range of topics. Categories extend from  soft skill development to specialized CTE and Industrial Trades like construction, architecture, electrical engineering, and robotics.

What is PBL?

Project-Based Learning (PBL) allows students to learn by investigation. It typically involves addressing a real-world problem explored through a comprehensive project. In this method of teaching, teachers take a back seat while students become active participants in their learning. Instead of lectures where students receive knowledge from the teacher, students learn the necessary content and skills through authentic investigation. Students develop transferable skills like cooperation, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and more!

Benefits of Combining Inspirit and PBL

A VR experience with Inspirit can be the launchpad to your cross-curricular PBL experience. Students can teleport to science labs to conduct hazardous experiments in a safe environment, explore concepts of force and motion to, practice skills like measuring, and more. Students will learn while immersing themselves in various environments, cultures, and more!

 Merge Inspirit and PBL with iBlocks

If you already love Inspirit VR and are looking for a way to effortlessly incorporate Project-Based Learning, look no further than iBlocks! iBlocks are pre-built, turn-key PBL experiences that easily align with your existing Inspirit VR offerings.
