The future of education is here and it’s all thanks to the new partnership between D2L and Unity. D2L, a global learning technology company, has teamed up with Unity, the world’s leading interactive, real-time 3D (RT3D) content platform, to revolutionize the education landscape through classroom integration of immersive Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and RT3D technologies. This groundbreaking collaboration is a direct response to the growing need for innovative and engaging educational opportunities in the classroom.
D2L’s Brightspace learning innovation platform now offers Unity education licenses to help educators create immersive learning experiences that go beyond traditional boundaries. From virtual science experiments to medical training simulations, students can explore their knowledge and have a more engaging and hands-on experience.
Unity believes that its technology can transform the world and make it a better place by increasing the number of content creators. With the help of the company’s solutions, practically any business can produce inventive RT3D experiences and enhance workflows for entertainment.
Natalie Mai, Global Head of Education Sales at Unity, is excited about the possibilities of this new partnership: “Immersive technology revolutionizes learning by breaking down traditional barriers, turning education into a dynamic and engaging experience that goes beyond the limits of classrooms. We’re excited to see how D2L can connect educators and students more deeply through Unity.”
Katie Bradford, VP of Product Partnerships of D2L, adds that the company’s goal is to explore how emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (A.I.) and virtual reality (V.R.), can be leveraged to help enable new ways of learning.
To make sure educators and students are able to take full advantage of this new technology, D2L offers training and learning management system support to assist users with the integration, utilization, and monitoring of the effects of immersive learning.
With over two decades of experience, D2L is committed to providing personalized learning opportunities to all students regardless of age, ability, or geography. By partnering with Unity, the company is taking the necessary steps to make sure the future of education is rooted in innovation and accessible to all.
