Project description
3D-worlds web application to help students memorise
Post-secondary school diploma or special technical training is required for at least a third of all jobs available in Europe today. There is a serious deficit of highly qualified workforce in the EU. Many European students drop out of university because they feel incapable of memorising large amounts of didactic content. There is a need for more effective modern tools to aid such students. The EU-funded Memorix project supports a unique web application that uses elements of co-creation, game and emotional stimuli to help students actively work on the development of their long-term memory processes. It engages VR, AI and 3D worlds to make the memory training processes exciting, and render any learning and memorising more enjoyable.
Objective
There is a high percentage of early leavers (11% among EU-28) and drop-outs among university students (31% among OECD countries). Students fail mainly due to demotivation and poor instructional materials being more eager to search for a job below their qualifications. One of the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy is to reach at least 40% of European adults (30-34 – year old) completing tertiary education (above school age) because today only 26% of the European workforce has this level despite the fact 35% of all EU job positions require this or higher level of education.
Students are challenged with long-term memory and despite their efforts to retain information 80% of it is gradually washed away shortly after the exams increasing learning demotivation. Current digital tools are not properly supporting students in this challenge, and given that >75% of the curricular content of many disciplines are based on memorization, this is a priority challenge.
Memorix app is our VR and AI powered mobile and web application that integrates emotional triggers and gamification elements helping students to well-stablish their long-term memory. To effectively engage students, Memorix app uses a co-creation approach where the student itself creates unique memory journeys in virtual 3D worlds, making the learning process intrinsically motivating. None of the current solution in the market offer a similar approach: co-creation in the front end and intelligence in the back end.
Memorix app is a novel product into the Educational Technology market which exceeded €15.16 B globally by 2017 and is rapidly growing (18.3%/year). Applying a B2C business model, with Memorix app we estimate to reach 94,000 university students as subscribers by 2026 for a total cumulative profit of €24.9 million (€1.8 million Accelerator project investment, ROI of 12.5). This project will also help us to create at least 26 new qualified jobs.
