An educational special of the Dutch television programme 10xBeter of the NTR featured two of our embodied learning projects. The embodied learning installation by Marloeke van der Vlugt and a virtual reality game 'Superhelden Eiland' were part of an extra long broadcast.
Embodied learning is a form of learning where to whole body is used to get results. In an Embodied Learning environment the interaction between body and the space has a central position. The body and physical movement are thus an important interface for learning in a hybrid space (both virtual as physical). The thought behind it is that physical interaction can stimulate existential learning. Wearables, tangible intelligent objects, sensor technology, motion-tracking and interactieve video all come together in this way of learning, stemming from physical action.
10xBeter is a programme of the NTR with tips for a better life, presented by Harm Edens.
