M.I.L.E Multisensory Interactive Learning Environment
What is a Multi-sensory Interactive Learning Environment (M.I.L.E)?
The Multi-sensory Interactive Learning Environment or M.I.L.E, is a new development in sensory room technology bringing a calming sensory room, stimulating sensory room, interactive sensory room and an Interactive learning platform into one easy to use package.
Whiteboards are likely to become a thing of the past when compared with the learning potential of the M.I.L.E. Incorporating changing light, sound, video, vibration, moving air and different aromas, the M.I.L.E system creates an environment that can calm or stimulates the senses, making lessons imaginative, exciting, creative and fun.
It also encourages teachers to be creative with their lessons, bringing the information alive rather than simply reading from a text book. If your teaching history why not take your pupils back to the wild west - the smell of gun smoke in your nostrils, the sight of the pony express and red indians, the noise of horse hoofs clomping by - whist videos show what it was really like during the time.
Using Experia’s unique wireless IRiS products to create these wonderful environments, pupils can control all of the pieces in the room using the Talkers making lessons a fully interactive time.
The M.I.L.E can also be the ultimate in relaxation room's making it the ideal place for calming a child who may be boisterous or distressed.
The M.I.L.E was created following an intensive two-year development programme and the incredible power and flexibility of the system is only made possible by the strength of the software built to drive it. Designed and written specifically for the system with teachers and carers in mind, the IRiS Room Director software ensures the M.I.L.E is used to its full potential using our wireless IRiS products.
The software is based on drag and drop to allow easy creation of 'scenarios' which can be tailored to every subject, theme or story. You are in complete control of the 'scenario' you want to create. A large range of media can also be easily integrated into to the system at the click of a mouse, from film clips, photographs and pictures, text and visualisations, as well as existing Microsoft PowerPoint and Opus presentations.
It's also completely versatile and each scenario can be designed to suit an individual and help develop skills including cause and effect, colour, number and shape recognition, gross and fine motor skills to name but a few.
M.I.L.E is exclusively available from Experia Canada and we offer a complete, free 3D room design service so you can see your M.I.L.E before purchasing. For more information on how you can get MILES of opportunities, please email us or telephone 1-647-955-4490.
