Traditional Learning Methods
Traditional learning methods often rely on passive consumption of information through lectures, textbooks, and online courses. However, these methods have their limitations:
Mind Maps
Visual representation of concepts and ideas
Limited in organizing complex information and connections
Flash-Cards
Repetition-based learning tool
Limited in promoting deep understanding and application of knowledge
Mnemonics
Memory aids like acronyms or rhymes
May not work for all types of information and can be difficult to create
Cornell Note-Taking
Structured note-taking system
Time-consuming and may not work for all learning styles
Memory Palaces
Visualization technique for memorization
Requires extensive practice and may not be suitable for all learners
Video Tutorials
A visual representation for short-term information
Not practical for long-term retention
The Role of Gamification
Gamification incorporates game elements into education to make learning more interactive and enjoyable.
At its best, gamification boosts engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. Flashcards, for example, offer a gamified way to review content, but relying solely on them can limit critical thinking and real-world problem-solving.
The Problem with Gamification
Surface-Level Knowledge
Relying on gamified learning can encourage learners to focus on completing tasks or collecting rewards rather than mastering the skills or knowledge behind them. This can lead to shallow learning, where learners memorize facts or steps just to "win" the game, without ever developing a deep, functional understanding of the subject.
Flashy but Shallow
Many gamified learning platforms rely on flashy graphics, bright colors, and superficial rewards to capture attention. These elements can make the experience feel fun and exciting at first, but they often mask the lack of depth in the actual content. Learners might get caught up in the game mechanics, chasing points or rewards, without fully understanding the material they’re supposed to learn.
Our mission
At Literally3D, our mission is to transform learning by empowering individuals through immersive, hands-on simulations. We aim to provide learners with practical, real-world experience from day one, helping them gain the confidence and skills they need to excel in their respective fields. By focusing on active engagement and realistic scenarios, we strive to make education more impactful, interactive, and effective for all.
Our vision
Our vision is to revolutionize education by becoming the leading platform for immersive simulation-based learning. We see a future where learning is no longer passive or reliant on rote memorization but is driven by experience and active participation. We aim to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, creating a world where anyone can learn by doing—regardless of their background or skill level.
Discovering the Proper Way to Learn
At Literally3D, we believe that the best way to learn is by doing. Our simulations provide learners with immersive, interactive experiences that allow them to apply their knowledge in realistic scenarios. By actively engaging with the material, learners can develop practical skills and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
