Gather Town: a window into the future of education?
Many technology solutions have been used in the context of the covid-19 pandemic in order to ensure educational follow-up. Nevertheless, one stood out from the competition by offering more than just videoconferencing but literally a virtual world that can reproduce whatever is desired. An immersive application that could well be the beginning of the next educational evolution.
Learning and geolocation
The educational uses of geopositioning are currently being explored. What does geolocation bring to training in practice?
AI in simulation-based learning
Simulation-based learning also brings a practical element to training. This is becoming easier with the democratization of virtual reality, for example. In recent years, another technology has been making inroads: artificial intelligence. Could it transform educational simulations?
Expert systems: a practical response to complexity
The expert system compiles data, rules, and contexts and produces inferences inferred or induced. It can take into account a vast amount of data and thus improve decision making. By enabling the transmission of knowledge between old and new employees, It also contributes to business stability and production quality.
Flexible mechanics make their mark on the world of machines
At the frontier between mathematics, engineering and origami, flexible mechanics opens up a new era in mechanical engineering by confronting our rigid designs. By playing with thicknesses, orientations, shapes and materials, designers such as Larry Howell achieve a level of simplicity approaching that of art, architecture or even biology.
