How engaging is this program?
Studies across a diversity of schools in Ontario and New York indicate that 85% of elementary school children enjoy "playing" the roleplays.
Computers and learning - A medium that is friendly to children:
Research supports that students are eager to learn using computer based
environments. Tests demonstrate skill learning, attitudinal shifts and
increased intention to practise new skills.
Studies have shown that virtual agents serve to foster trust with complex
information[MIT Media Lab Research 2001, T. Bickmore, J. Cassell], and are
intuitive and enjoyable. By interacting with characters in a virtual world,
students become more engaged in the subject matter, helping them learn
more effectively.
The lessons are indelible because the training is
individualized and emotionally engaging.
To ensure inclusivity, narrated text, as well as
modifications and adaptations, are provided for students on IEPs.
