MOVED BY LEARNING

iMO-LEARN redefines the way in which we learn and ensures a

revolutionary new learning experience. We now no longer learn by sitting

still but by moving instead. “We’re moved by learning!”

iMO-LEARN

RESEARCHERS HAVE PROVEN THAT MOVEMENT HELPS US LEARN MORE EFFECTIVELY. WE

ARE LIMITITING CHILDREN’S CAPACITY FOR LEARNING BY MAKING THEM SIT STILL FOR

TOO LONG, TOO OFTEN. LONG MOMENTS OF SITTING STILL IS NOT GOOD FOR OUR

CONSTITUTION EITHER. THE CONCEPT OF A HEALTHY SOUL IN A HEALTHY BODY GETS A

WHOLE NEW DIMENSION: AFTER ALL, MOVEMENT ALSO REFRESHES THE SOUL.

i3-Technologies’ iMO-LEARN team used this knowledge and experience as a starting point.

Our goal? To create a unique active learning environment in which students learn more intensely and develop their

creativity through a new, movement-friendly approach.

Our first test was applied to a school with 8 Danish teachers and one hundred pupils from the towns Kolding, Vejle and

Dragor. We’ve presented various types of exercises to impart the teaching material and created alternative classroom

setups that encouraged the children to naturally move more. A new seat was designed: the iMO-LEARN.

The outcome? An ergonomic, sustainable and active learning environment wherein pupils learn flexibly and more

intensely. But that’s not all: this innovative learning environment is also linked to the i3LEARNHUB online software. The

analog iMO-LEARN is transformed into a system that provides immediate feedback in no time, very handy for multiple-

choice questions! The result: sophisticated learning and movement.

Further information?

All the details concerning iMO-LEARN and its various concepts can be found in the extensive product description.

It is unusual to sit on a special object such as the iMO-LEARN. If you look closely at the seat you will see that it is not really

a cube: it has no straight edges! Sitting still is not an option once the spherical side is on the floor. If you use the other

sides, the seating position will adjust itself. This is dynamic seating at its best!

iMO-LEARN comes in both analog and digital versions. The digital version has a motion sensor that communicates

wirelessly with the online i3LEARNHUB digital board software. This enables you to magically transform the iMO-LEARN

into an interactive and digital educational resource in no time at all.

The iMO-LEARN is made of expanded polypropylene. This material has a number of advantages:

• You can put various components together quickly and easily to create complex geometrical shapes.

• It is possible to produce hybrid components.

• The material makes the cube extremely light and therefore more comfortable to use,

relieving stress on the joints.

• Expanded polypropylene absorbs energy and moisture. This means the cube has a high level of

temperature resistance. • The material is easy to recycle, and emissions during production are low.



THE CONCEPT

One cube does not make the learning environment. An active learning environment is bigger than the sum

of its attributes. This is why iMO-LEARN developed a number of standard concepts. There is, however, no

reason why you shouldn’t let your imagination take over and create one yourself: design your own creative

learning environment!

“Tell me and I forget.Teach me and I remember.

Involve me and I learn.”- Benjamin Franklin

iMO-LEARN: “Move meand I create.”



Dynamic sitting

The simplest one is the dynamic learning environment. The iMO-LEARNs

are extremely suitable for this as there are no straight edges at all.

Just try to sit still on one! The pupils move considerably more than in a

standard classroom arrangement. This is a clear improvement towards

more physical activity at school.You could use the iMO-LEARNs in class or integrate them into a special

‘move and learn’ area. The choice is yours!

Analog active learning

You can work with every side of the iMO-LEARN. The iMO can be used :

• For physical exercises that increase the heart rate of the pupils for

at least five minutes - comparable to physical activities.

• For short physical and knowledge tasks that lead to more oxygen

being pumped into pupils’ brains and are ideal as a section in the

lesson. We call these “brain teasers”.

• For activities that deepen and intensify the way of learning. This is

learning through movement (embodied learning).

An intense co-creation process with one hundred pupils and eight

teachers resulted in extremely diverse exercises on various subjects

such as mathematics, languages, balancing exercises and brain teasers.

Digital active learning

You can instantaneously transform the iMO-LEARNs into a digital learning

environment by providing them with motion sensors. For example: you

can link them with the i3LEARNHUB on your i3BOARD or digital board

and integrate them into the Quick Quiz module. The pupils answer thequestions by moving their iMO-LEARN, and the system will automatically

detect the right answer. The results are immediately visible. This adds a

whole new dimension to embodied learning.

No more sitting still in class

THREE LEARNING METHODS (AT LEAST)

As you probably noticed by now, there are many more sides to the iMO-LEARN than the cube you see in front of you. It

challenges pupils and teachers to create more and more learning methods on a daily basis. We have only defined three

of them: you will definitely discover more.(Dynamic sitting, Analog active learning, Active digital learning).

Circle

In this concept, each link in the chain is equal: the distinction between

teacher and pupil fades away. Each participant can look into the eyes of

the other. This is ideal for group discussions and for making an evaluation.

Dialogue circle

We place half the iMO-LEARNs in an inner ring and the other half in an

outer ring. This creates a discussion forum in which pupils can reflect

about a topic or a question in pairs.

Semicircle

The group focuses on one point such as, for example, a screen, person or

group. Putting the iMO-LEARNs in a U-shape ensures that all pupils focus

on the same point.

Couple-bench

One-to-one discussions run smoothly and with a clear focus with this

concept. There are various ways of placing the iMO-LEARNs in relation to

one another. The pupils sit facing each other, next to each other or with

their backs to one another.

DYNAMIC SITTING

As an inspiration, here are four possible concepts:



ANALOG ACTIVE LEARNING

Book with 53 basic exercises

Creating and innovating by yourself is the basis of iMO-LEARN. We’ve developed 53 basic exercises in

collaboration with the test groups, in various knowledge and movement domains to make pupils and

teachers fully aware of the system’s possibilities. Try and use them as a basis for designing new exercisesyourself. All the exercises are gathered in a didactic manual.

DIGITAL ACTIVE LEARNING

Digitale module

STEP 1:

The teacher connects

the MDM’s with the

iMO Connect software.

STEP 2:

The teacher starts an activity in i3LEARNHUB by

using a quick quiz.

STEP 3:

The teacher starts the quick quiz.



STEP 4:

The students put their iMO-LEARN in the position that corresponds

with the solution. That position will be shown in the quick quiz.

STEP 5:

The teacher can check the feedback of every student.

STEP 6:

When the teacher selects the correct answer, the feedback will besent to the MDM’s. Students that were right will see green lights

blinking, students with a wrong answer will get red feedback lights.

In our hyper-connected world, it is only logical that learning environments are

connected to the world outside.

As a consequence, traditional learning environments need to be transformed into

a social hub for interaction and connectivity, in which both cyberspace, computing

devices and traditional and digital meeting and teaching tools blend perfectly to

enable the optimal interaction experience.
