$BNED Big picture for
$IMMR involvement
Increased engagement: Immersion's haptic feedback technology can be integrated into BNED's digital learning materials to create more engaging and interactive experiences for students. Research suggests that multisensory learning, including touch, can enhance engagement and knowledge retention.
Improved comprehension: Haptic feedback could provide tactile cues within simulations, diagrams, or virtual environments, leading to deeper understanding of complex concepts, especially in subjects like STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). For example, students could feel the simulated resistance of a lever in a virtual physics experiment or the textured details of a 3D model in a biology lesson.
Skill development and training: Haptics can provide realistic feedback in hands-on skills training simulations, which could be particularly beneficial for vocational and technical education programs offered through BNED's network
