Integrating curriculum-aligned content with real-time assessments, Looping’s immersive experiences naturally support secondary-school learning environments, making classroom content more engaging.
The first time Ms Tania Hamad donned a virtual reality (VR) headset, she experienced a moment of technological revelation that would ultimately reshape her approach to education.
“I was just blown away,” she recalls. “I couldn’t understand how I wasn’t actually there. It was so immersive.”
That initial experience of virtual transportation – of feeling completely present in a digital environment – became the spark that would ignite Looping, an innovative virtual reality platform set to revolutionise how students learn.
Created by Ms Hamad, Looping’s core innovation lies in providing deeply immersive experiences students literally cannot get any other way – placing them directly into realistic historical settings as if physically present, visually exploring molecular structures at microscopic levels, virtually transporting them to remote geographic locations, or safely navigating realistic social and emotional scenarios.
What distinguishes Looping – beyond its adaptive AI technology – is that it integrates built-in assessment directly into the immersive experience itself.
“Unlike other VR platforms that primarily provide interactive scenarios or experiences, Looping actively captures and provides meaningful assessment evidence mapped directly to curriculum or specific learning outcomes,” Ms Hamad says.
The platform provides real-time, personalised feedback, rephrasing questions and offering several attempts to ensure comprehensive understanding.
“If a student is unable to answer a question, it adapts with different learning approaches,” Ms Hamad says. “It will rephrase, recontextualise, and provide multiple attempts until the student reaches competency.”
“Students can enter a full science lab or be immersed in ancient Greece, building knowledge week-by-week,” she says.
Critically, the platform integrates seamlessly with existing learning management systems (LMS), providing comprehensive feedback for educators. Teachers receive detailed reports highlighting student strengths and areas requiring additional support, effectively reducing administrative burden while enhancing personalised learning.
“Looping automatically captures assessment outcomes – whether students achieved specific tasks, understanding levels, attempts required, etc – and a full video recording of each student’s immersive interaction. These flow directly into the school’s LMS. Teachers can then easily access and review the assessment outcomes, feedback, and video recording separately, simplifying validation and significantly reducing administrative burden,” Ms Hamad says.
The immersive nature of VR offers unprecedented student engagement.
“Research has shown VR learners can absorb content roughly four times faster than traditional classroom delivery, and learners often demonstrate significantly higher confidence and deeper comprehension,” Ms Hamad says.
By creating intense, interactive experiences, the technology transforms passive learning into active exploration, applicable to primary and secondary education, professional development, and critical safety training.
“It can provide life-like environments which would otherwise be unsafe or pose significant risks,” Ms Hamad says.
“Schools can use it to simulate scenarios involving emotional intelligence, anti-bullying strategies, or mental health support in a safe, yet realistic environment”.
Students and teachers can experience and learn from challenging scenarios without real-world consequences, Ms Hamad says, highlighting the platform’s capacity to turn almost any educational content into realistic, immersive experiences that genuinely engage students, support teachers’ professional development, and adapt flexibly across diverse school curricula.
“Learning is a continuous loop, and now we have the technology to make that loop truly dynamic, engaging, and meaningful,” Ms Hamad says.
