Let's talk

THE CONNECTED PATHWAY

Before the lab.
In the moment.
Beyond the lesson.

The vision is a continuous feedback loop: understand the learner, rehearse the practical, support participation, then use the evidence to shape what comes next.

PHASE 01 / UNDERSTAND

A digital twin
of learning needs.

An evolving learner profile, grounded in what helps a student access practical science.

Short, playful onboarding activities would explore sequencing, comprehension, pace and working-memory demands. School SEND information, existing adjustments and learner preferences would add context.

Teachers review the profile and adapt support as new evidence emerges. This is an educational design concept, not a clinical diagnosis or a validated cognitive assessment.

INPUT 01

Learner voice

Preferences, short tasks and confidence check-ins.

INPUT 02

School understanding

Relevant support needs and adjustments, reviewed by staff.

PHASE 02 / PREPARE

A familiar lab.
A clearer first step.

Teacher-assigned preparation, connected to the practical students will actually do.

The proposed 360° virtual practical room introduces equipment, safety routines and scientific vocabulary. Students rehearse the sequence, then teachers see where a learner may need extra preparation.

Browser-based rehearsal is the starting point. Optional immersive VR is a later research direction: its value must be tested with learners, including comfort and cognitive load.

Readiness checks trigger support. A missed check should lead to a teacher-led adjustment, rather than automatic exclusion from practical learning.

  4. 04Check readinessFind the support needed before the lesson.

360° room and VR are planned product features. The interactive example below demonstrates the learning flow.

PHASE 03 / PARTICIPATE & EXPLAIN

From doing science
to showing understanding.

In the lab, profile-matched instructions and recording frames help learners keep their place. Teachers retain responsibility for supervision, safety and deciding when support should change.

After the lesson, structured prompts connect results, conclusions, evaluation and GCSE-style practice to that same practical. Work samples and teacher observations build a portfolio over time.

DURING

Prompt. Measure. Record.

Concise reminders, accessible recording and a clear next action.

AFTER

Explain. Reflect. Improve.

A supported write-up, actionable feedback and a next learning goal.

NEXT TIME

Review the support.

Teachers use evidence to adjust the profile and gradually reduce scaffolds where appropriate.
