Wittario
The combination of outdoor movement, game mechanics and immersive learning are the three basic principles of Wittario. We believe this will nourish optimal learning experiences – on the student’s own terms.
What does the Wittario platform do? There are two components to the solution.
We know that a high level of involvement increases learning. We also know that movement and physical activity have a positive effect on brain activity. If we add a touch of gamification – we have the three theoretical cornerstones of Wittario.
Game-based learning combined with physical activity helps increase the learning outcome.
See relevant research ›The educational content of a game session is defined by the classroom teacher. This allows the teacher to adapt the game session to the learning goals of each teaching session. This is lacking in many similar games and digital learning tools.
The solution enables teachers to create tasks in a user friendly manner. The tasks can be sorted into thematic collections. These collections can be shared. There are great opportunities for collaboration among teachers and even schools. At the last content creation stage, waypoints are selected on a digital map. Tasks are assigned to each waypoint. Classes can be divided into groups, or students can solve tasks individually. There are also distance based games where routes and waypoints are not needed. The games are ready wherever the players are at.
The solution allows for additional guidance for each task in the form of internet content such as video, web pages and photos. The type of tasks to choose from are varied and allows for debate, collaboration and reflection. There is even a function for communication between an indoor and outdoor team. If any students cannot participate outside, they can be a supportive indoors team.
The game can also be used in both shorter and longer teaching sessions and allows for the planning of multidisciplinary teaching sessions. The game is simple in design, so teachers with both short and long gaming experience can use it.
Outdoors movement does a body and soul good, At Wittario, we believe this helps us think more clearly while enhancing our experiences.
The employees live fully into the game, which also makes it ideal for building a good company culturre, through good communication and collaboration. The results areactive and happy employees.
WITTARIO will get the employees moving and engaged in problem solving. Whether a person thrives on competition or not, they will enjoy the feeling they get from overcoming an obstacle and completing a goal.
Augmented reality is a technology that combines data from the physical world with virtual data, for example using graphics and sound. You get an extra layer of information. The additional information typically does not replace reality, but expands it in one or more ways.

What is an AR object?
+
An AR object is a custom made digital object that can be placed in an augmented reality. A true AR object is something that you can move around. For example, you can view the world through the cell phone camera but with the added AR object. For example some named building blocks are placed in front of you, and your job is to create a tower of the blocks.
How much data will a game consume?
+
This entirely depends on the game creator. Some tasks will have supplementary links to video of high quality – some will be primarily text based.
As an example; a regular game, not making use of supplementary resources, with 10 questions over 15 minutes and 800 meters, will probably consume 0,2 MB of data.
Who is Wittario created for?
+
We boldly claim that Wittario was created for the betterment of mankind – in other words; all. We feel that obtaining knowledge and positive experiences is best done combined with outdoors movement. Anyone that is able to move outdoors, read and has a playful and curious attitude – is our target group.
I am a teacher. All do not have smartphones. How do I solve this problem ?
+
One solution is to organize so that there are 2-3 students per phone. Another solution is to divide your class into two groups so that one group is playing Wittario and another group is receiving ordinary teaching while waiting for the phones to be available.
We also have examples where schools have purchased class sets of tablets with 4G. Classes take turns using the sets.
Many school children have very limited data subscription on their phone. How do I solve that problem ?
+
The Wittario app demands very limited data usage. Our tests shows that a student on average use less than half a MB with data pr route. Benchmark tests shows that the Wittario app only uses a fraction of the of the data that Pokemon Go use on a similar route.
What about participants unable to move outdoors?
+
The wittario solution is created so that indoors-teams may aid the outdoors-teams. This way, all are included. There is also a distance based game available - tracking steps and not just GPS.
My phone is stuck on the loading screen?
+
It can sometimes take a moment to start the app or a game, depending on your wireless access. Also make sure that the app is updated and that your phone is updated with the latest operating system (OS). Also make sure that you have granted the app access to location (GPS) and camera.
