Nyaal is the only education space in Australia that uses this unique blend of 360-degree technology informed by an immersive learning model. It boasts a 75-square-metre, 360-degree theatre with high-definition, ceiling-mounted projectors that bring high-quality images and audio to life, simulating a real workplace. Students step into the theatre and are immediately transported into various real-world scenarios designed to prepare them for life on the job.

Education students can be digitally placed inside a classroom to witness a range of variables, like student behaviour and diverse needs – giving them a powerful experience that optimises and prepares them to become effective teachers. As Professor Blake describes it, the simulations enable students to ‘see things that may otherwise be hidden in plain sight’.

Education student Ethan agrees. ‘Being able to be inside the school walls without physically being there gives us an opportunity to analyse the same scenario from different perspectives. This experience has improved my observation skills during placements. I now feel confident that I can support all my students’ learning needs.
