chicago Avantis Education has partnered with the 33,000-student St. Vrain Valley Schools in Colorado to bring Eduverse, Avantis' award-winning library of immersive VR and AR content and standards-aligned lessons, to 60 district schools. The contract marks the first district-wide adoption of Eduverse and means teachers at all 60 schools can now take advantage of Avantis' immersive content even if they don't have access to VR headsets.
“Street. Vrain Valley schools have been using the Avantis ClassVR headsets since 2018. We have the headsets in 21 of our schools right now and love the rich library of content available to those students. We had been managing the licenses for these schools individually and we are pleased to be able to manage ClassVR at the district level,” said Eric Pierce, director of IT Services and Support for the district. “In addition, with this district-wide Eduverse license, the content available in ClassVR can also be accessed on. devices that students already have, like iPads, which is exciting for us. We are a 1:1 district and having this curated library of experiences available to all students on all devices is very valuable and a win for our students.”
“Our goal at Avantis Education is to make it easier for teachers to bring innovative, immersive content and virtual reality experiences to their classrooms,” said Avantis Education CEO Huw Williams. “For schools that want a fully immersive experience, they can use ClassVR. “If schools only have ClassVR for some classrooms but not others, they can use Eduverse to access our immersive content on any web-enabled device, including laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets, inside or outside the classroom.”
St. Vrain Valley schools plan to pilot Eduverse content next semester in schools that currently do not have it. Eduverse has been added to the district's ClassLink platform, making it easier for teachers to access content with a single sign-on password. Pierce is especially excited to see the impact that Avantis' science and social studies content can make in the district's schools. “We can practically take students to other countries or have them explore the surface of Mars. We hope to bring those unique experiences to all of our schools,” he said.
