“Enjoy Learning” Application is an Egyptian application that provides students with educational curricula using the interactive virtual reality technology. It is an advanced technology to make educational process and learning achievement a fun and useful experiment to the maximum extent out of traditional education methods and in less time.
Virtual reality technology works via smart phones and virtual reality goggles. Through it, students can move entirely into a virtual computer-made world, they can meet historical figures and listen to explanations from them, they can travel through time and go from one place to another like walking in space and entering the human body and cells.
Dr. Badrawi paid a subscription for 1500 students in the application to be available for the first-grade preparatory science students of the governorate for free. While signing, Dr. Badrawi said that the goal behind cooperation with “Enjoy Learning” team, “First, to support creative Egyptian youth of the application founders. Second, to make Egyptian students stand on the same stage with their peers in the world who started to use simulation and motivation approaches to motivate students, increase their educational abilities and make education more interesting and useful”.
Ahmed Safwat, the founder of the application, said that their goal was to make a comprehensive change in the traditional education ways. “The studies proved that a student gets 10% to 30% of the content which he reads or listens to. So, students tend to memorizing and dictation. However using experiment and simulation, a student can understand and achieve more than 90% of educational material he is supposed to study at school,” said Ahmed Safwat.
Ahmed assured that the success of the experiment in science subject during the next school year for first-grade preparatory students in Beni Sweif Governorate would open the door for generalizing the experiment and producing more content that would be reflected on the education output and development using the most advanced educational means in the world.
