The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is to develop technology to enable a gamified approach to the world of virtual reality (VR). Current educational VR programs are focused on providing an experience through 360 degree videos or simple interactions allowing students to explore a virtual world. The advancement of the technology under development is the connection between student-centered experiential learning and an easy-access, teacher-driven assessment management system. By lowering the threshold of programming experience required to create and use VR technology in the classroom, teachers will be able to fine-tune VR resources to meet the student curricular needs. This will allow VR to seamlessly integrate into classrooms on a large scale.This I-Corps project aims to evaluate the commercialization potential of technology using a multi-platform (VR, PC, Mac) gamification tool for student assessment. Teachers will be able to create assessments via an easy-to-use web interface that are then automatically placed inside the game portal for students to complete. After completing the assignment or quiz, a student will be rewarded with a short gameplay session where s/he can advance based on the performance during the assessment portion of the game. Teachers will be able to use the web interface to track student progress and results. The novel assessments created can be shared with other teachers to create a library of assessments, so that teachers can develop a new course efficiently.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该 I-Corps 项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发技术，以实现虚拟现实 (VR) 世界的游戏化方法。 当前的 VR 教育项目侧重于通过 360 度视频或简单的交互提供体验，让学生探索虚拟世界。正在开发的技术的进步是以学生为中心的体验式学习与易于访问、教师驱动的评估管理系统之间的联系。通过降低在课堂上创建和使用 VR 技术所需的编程经验门槛，教师将能够微调 VR 资源，以满足学生的课程需求。这将使 VR 能够大规模无缝地融入课堂。这个 I-Corps 项目旨在使用多平台（VR、PC、Mac）游戏化工具对学生进行评估来评估技术的商业化潜力。教师将能够通过易于使用的网络界面创建评估，然后自动将其放置在游戏门户中以供学生完成。完成作业或测验后，学生将获得一个简短的游戏会话奖励，他/她可以根据游戏评估部分的表现进行晋级。教师将能够使用网络界面来跟踪学生的进度和结果。创建的新颖评估可以与其他教师共享，以创建评估库，以便教师能够高效地开发新课程。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过利用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响进行评估，认为值得支持审查标准。
