For Foundations & Sponsors
Sponsorship
Making education freely accessible.
A foundation or company sponsors a learning world for one or three years and makes it free for schools to use during that time — on tablets, computers, interactive whiteboards and VR headsets.
Sponsor a module
For €1,000 (one year) or €3,000 (three years) a module is finalised and made freely accessible to all schools for that period — with visible credit as a sponsor.
High-quality & immersive
Visually and linguistically immersive, didactically sound — a learning world that brings the funded topic to life. Online and offline in the free VR-Suite player.
Free for schools
During the sponsorship, schools use the learning world free of charge — in the browser, on the interactive whiteboard, on tablets and in VR headsets.
All modules are prepared to a high content and didactic standard and address specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With a sponsorship we give each module a final polish — imagery, 360° scenes and details.
For Teachers
Quickly check whether a module fits your lesson.
Since all modules follow the same compact basic structure, the decisive question is the content fit and the specific learning value of VR for that topic.
Consistent module structure
All modules follow the same compact format and are therefore easy to place in existing lesson sequences.
Focus on real learning value
The key question is not whether VR looks impressive, but where a spatially coherent 360° experience helps learners understand relationships more clearly than flat media.
School connection at a glance
Learning goals, SDGs and school relevance can be checked directly at the module level.
For the 'Why 360° / VR?' check, we focus above all on whether a module offers a real medium-specific advantage over textbook, worksheet or video. That benefit can already emerge in a browser-based 360° tour; the headset mainly increases immersion.
