The world of academia has completely transformed in the past year. We have seen traditional classroom settings transformed to online platforms and home-schooling strategies. Education institutions are closed due to the pandemic and students are having to adjust to new learning skills. Educational institutions foster an environment that is not only equipt for students to learn, but it is a setting where students are prepared and anticipating having to learn. So, how do we make these environments safe again for students and staff to enter the institutions and re-engage with educational activities?
Thanks to MESA’s modern technology, we are able to adapt to new solutions in order to thwart problems. In the educational institutions we still have issues of human interactions on the campuses, which as we can see are struggling to re-opening their operations. We are seeing that when campuses open, they are forced to close or put great restrictions on students and staff due to the pandemic. So how do we combat these closures to ensure that students are receiving the education they require?
MESA Enterprises has Revolutionized the Education Industry with the implementation of their unique, gesture-controlled software, which is solving the concerns surrounding the physical interactions that increase risk of the spread of the disease.
MESA’s Software
MESA Enterprises Software is a futuristic software that allows users to interact with hand gestures. The software runs on screens on the campus, displays customizable images and videos through the auto scroll feature when no person is within the interactive window.
As soon as someone approaches Central Hub and Resource LinkTM (CHRL), it welcomes the user and provides simple hand gesture instructions to help the user take control of the software. Students can access information about the events happening on campus, information about classes, general messages from administration, donor information, student recruitment opportunities, cultural events, and even engage with other students through surveys and blog postings. Through the use of QR codes, staff can communicate with students and encourage them to take the information with them. Students can scan QR codes to further engage with staff through various websites, forums, and documents they are able to fill out and use on their personal devices.
CHRL is completely customizable to meet the needs of the academic world it is placed in.
The Software Increases Recall
People truly engage when they have FUN and have FREEDOM of choice. When messages and information are-chosen or PULLED, rather than pushed, retention and interaction-time increase. This PULL methodology, when combined with a multi-sensory experience, increases memory, recall, and repeat interaction. It is proven that with the use of kinesthetic movement, like hand gestures, while taking in information, you are more likely to retain and recall this information.
Timing plays an integral role in achieving-engagement. People engage when they choose the time and duration of the engagement. A love for learning increases when the RIGHT messages and information are communicated, in connection with the right methodology and timing.
The issue of engagement reaches far beyond the push or pull methodology and timing. Some educators understand the need to facilitate an emotional connection to messages and information. There is a vast difference between evoking emotional-responses and creating lasting emotional connections. Responses of fear, excitement, and happiness are based on-fleeting emotions that do not instill a passion and desire for learning. The message of an educator must communicate core values and behaviors, beyond general information and facts, to create this passion and desire to know more. Information presented to-students must allow them to see the personal value, beyond good grades, in order to retain information long term and share that information with others.
The complete process of interactions with MESA’s software increases memory and recall for students, provides a platform for educators and administration to communicate, and provides a center for information to be shared. This will increase the engagement and collaboration among students and staff in the academia world.
Networking Uses
Creating a safe, cohesive, and collaborating environment among students and staff in this industry is vital for its success, especially during this unprecedented time. Central Hub and Resource LinkTM will promote networking as the administration can easily integrate opportunities for students to interact with their peers, instructors, and administration.
Groups, activities, clubs, and organizations on campus can easily connect, communicate, and display their messages to encourage involvement and integrate new opportunities for members of the educational institution.
Applications
Library: You can easily automate all the processes in a Library by providing the instructions from the software.The user can access information about books or areas of a Library using hand gestures and can also access portals using a QR code!
Cafeteria: menus can be displayed and specials can be advertised. Through use of QR codes, students can scan and be directed to a website to place their order and pay for their meals from their personal devices.
Classrooms: teachers can create lessons where students interact with the software, engage with the information, and are directed through QR codes to platforms for evaluations.
Additional spaces include: common areas, concert halls, and stadiums. The options are limitless. This software can be used throughout a campus to provide various effective and safe engagement opportunities.
Survey Application
One of CHRL’s unique features is the survey feature. Through use of the survey model on the landing pages, staff and administration can gain better insight from the students about specific information. Students can give feedback and answer questions that the instructors and administration want to know. For example feedback about changes to campus, changes to staff, changes in curriculum, scheduling for days off, etc. This would also serve as an opportunity for student ideas to be heard and explored. Through use of the survey model and QR codes, students will feel heard and their thoughts can be clearly communicated.
QR Codes
CHRL allows people to take information with them through the use of QR codes. Prompting students, staff, facility, and visitors to scan QR codes for more info ensures that people are taking information with them via their personal devices.
This is a way that education can reach beyond the physical locations of academic institutions.
