The Hindu Business Line : Core Projects inks pact with NASA centre for virtual learning

CHENNAI: Core Projects & Technologies Ltd has announced that it has inked an agreement with the Center of Higher Learning (CHL) for content delivery in the global education space.

Located at the NASA John C Stennis Space Center, CHL is a collaborative effort between NASA and the American State of Mississippi and is administered by the University of Southern Mississippi.

CHL uses the pioneering Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) technology to create virtual reality-based educational content and curriculum.

The Core-CHL collaboration is exclusively for the Asia-Pacific region and will enable Core to assimilate and internalise the technology for use in developing content for the Indian and international education markets.

Mr Sanjeev Mansotra, Chairman and Managing Director of Croe, said: "This arrangement will arm us 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."

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, the UK and India. - Our Bureau
