GatherEducation - Interactive Virtual Learning Platform

Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Baker Design Group is founded on delivering breakthrough results for our Clients through innovation in design.  These innovations have come in many forms, such as design strategy for planning and building design, media technologies, and the creation of new products like furniture and electronic devices.  Recently, we decided to focus our attention on “virtual architecture” to improve the teaching and learning experience for Online Education.  Our work in developing a new computer program to enhance Online Education was not driven by any particular Client, but rather self driven to help improve access to education for students, life-long learners, and teachers worldwide.

Gather Education is a new online Virtual Education platform that harnesses the capabilities of new technologies and video game engineering to allow for teachers to lead Online Classes naturally, as they have done for generations. Students can engage with their classmates and instructors in a similar manner as they would in a real-world classroom setting.  The Gather Education program allows for teachers and students anywhere in the world to attend classes together.  The teacher uses simple off the shelf low cost technologies and the internet to conduct the course.  Students can join the classes using Wi-Fi, or by simply using a 3G mobile phone connection on any wireless smartphone or tablet.
