Exploring Emergent Technologies
As an Indigenous Learning Exploration Platform, ʻĪpuka is at once ancient and modern, exploring emergent technologies for a sustainable, peaceful planet. This includes:
-
Virtual worlds and 360-degree videos/images enable learners to explore diverse virtual places of learning (from the mountains to the sea) in a fun, visual, highly interactive way, based on cultural propensities and personal preferences, as they earn supra- disciplinary micro-credentials.
-
Simulations immerse learners in traditional and contemporary 21st century content using digital representations of cultural-based activities.
-
Peer to Peer Communication builds amicable and supportive relations between Indigenous learners and encourages group study, collaborative research and resource sharing.
-
Avatars or animated representations of learning guides narrate and help learners as they work through site and connect with the program, the places/courses to be explored, the diverse learning activities, their communities and other learners.
-
Education Gamification including Branching, Interactive Videos, Interactive Slides, Dialog and Flash Cards, Word Searches, Drag & Drop, Quizzes, Hotspots, Fill in the Blanks, Word Sort, Timers etc.
