(Lessons taught in 3D help children learn more and behave better as it increases levels of concentration
Pupils in 3D classes could remember more than the 2D classes after four weeks, improving test scores by an average 17 per cent compared with eight per cent for 2D lessons.
They gave more ‘elaborate’ answers to open-ended tasks and were more likely to ‘think’ in 3D, using hand gestures and ‘mime’ to ‘successfully answer the test questions’.
Writing in The 3D in Education White Paper, Professor Bamford said: ‘The marked improvement in test scores was also supported by qualitative data that showed that 100 per cent of teachers agreed or strongly agreed that 3D animations in the classroom made the children understand things better and 100 per cent of teachers agreed or strongly agreed that the pupils discovered new things in 3D learning that they did not know before.
‘The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding, increased attention span, more motivation and higher engagement.’

Adaptive Learning
“Traditional classroom-based learning in many cases only services the middle ability students, as if you finish the task quickly and want to look into a topic more intensively you are held up by the class. Conversely, if you are struggling with the topic and want to back track and review a related topic to aid your understanding you do not have time, as the group has moved onto the next topic. So what is the answer to this problem? How can educators account for mixed ability classes and give the best experience to all the learners in a group?”

“A person living anywhere in the world is just a few clicks away from engaging others in debate and discussion of his or her interests. It is both engaging and immersive. If this is done in the target language it can be extremely valuable to the student”
