Description du projet
Une application de mondes 3D en ligne qui facilite le processus de mémorisation chez les étudiants
Un diplôme d’études postsecondaires ou une formation technique spéciale sont exigés pour au moins un tiers de l’ensemble des emplois disponibles en Europe aujourd’hui. L’UE souffre d’un grave déficit de main-d’œuvre hautement qualifiée. De nombreux étudiants européens abandonnent l’université parce qu’ils se sentent incapables de mémoriser de grandes quantités de contenu didactique. Il est nécessaire de disposer d’outils modernes plus efficaces pour aider ces étudiants. Le projet Memorix, financé par l’UE, soutient une application web unique qui utilise des éléments de co-création, des jeux et des stimuli émotionnels pour aider les étudiants à travailler activement sur le développement de leurs processus de mémoire à long terme. Elle fait appel à la RV, à l’IA et à des mondes 3D pour rendre les processus d’entraînement de la mémoire passionnants et faire en sorte que n’importe quelle tâche d’apprentissage ou de mémorisation soit plus agréable.
Objectif
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.
