Core Projects & Technologies - CHL agreement

Core Projects & Technologies Ltd has announced that its path breaking agreement with the Center of Higher Learning, USA, (CHL), with which it is poised to launch into the areas of curriculum and content delivery in the global education space, with cutting edge technology never before seen in the modern classroom.

Located at the NASA John C Stennis Space Center, CHL, is a collaborative effort between NASA, the US state of Mississippi, and is administered by the University of Southern Mississippi. CHL uses the pioneering Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) technology developed by scientists at CHL located at NASA's Stennis Spade Center to create virtual reality based educational content and curriculum. This Immersive Visualization technology allows users to become fully immersed in an interactive 3D virtual environment. Research has shown students retain information at a much higher rate when working in more 3D environments, than when information is presented with textbooks or other flat, 2D representations. This new technology is therefore a dramatically different approach to teaching, and presents schools around the world with numerous new opportunities to educating today's students.

The CORE and CHL collaboration is exclusively to the Asia-Pacific region and will enable CORE to assimilate and internalize the technology for use in developing content for the Indian and international education markets. Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Sanjeev Mansotra, Chairman and Managing Director of CORE foresees, "This arrangement will arm CORE with tomorrow's technology and enable us to significantly contribute to global education markets. Students around the world will benefit from the use of CAVE technology, as this will take teaching and learning to a completely different level. We are very excited by the substantial impact this partnership allows us to make in the global educational content and curriculum segment, an area in which we did not have prior presence."

CORE plans to produce educational software titles for over 17,000 higher education institutions, as well as hundreds of thousands K-12 schools in the US, UK and India. The applications will be in areas such as mammography physics, chemistry, molecular science, biology, computer science, mathematics, scientific computation, and more.

CORE has been at the forefront of developing administrative educational software. With several large application installations throughput the US and UK, and with additional opportunities emerging in India, CORE is a leader in providing school administrators with the tools they need to provide quality education to students around the world.
