Xperica HD Pro provides professional-level, interactive virtual labs for inquiry-based activities.
This product puts a crisp, interactive virtual science lab in the hands of the students and teachers for demo purposes and inquiry-based activities. With a easy to use interface and barely any learning curve, whole-class, teacher-led activities where students follow guidelines and are asked to make inferences based on the results of tweaking the different variables seems to be the best use of this product. With a beautiful visual display covering a few topics spanning across the physical science spectrum, Xperica HD Pro provides a high-quality alternative to otherwise cost-prohibitive experiments. Teachers will also appreciate the high production value that goes into the creation of this product. However, Xperica HD Pro may not work well as a stand alone learning tool due to the lack of formal, learning-target aligned guidance. Students who struggle with content will most likely find it difficult to glean useful information without an explicit feedback system or exemplar model comparison built-in to the experiment. Hopefully as they expand the number of lab experiment options, they will also more fully develop the capacity of their support structures or direct students to resources (externally or internally) that offer this guidance.
