Interactive Simulators, Virtual Labs Developed for Iranian Students
“Faramouz Hendeseh startup stationed at the incubator center of our university is an active and leading startup in the field of new educational technologies,” Mohammad Ali Sotoudeh, a faculty member of the Civil Engineering Department of Islamic Azad University’s Damavand branch, told ANA.
“This startup has put on agenda the production of various educational programs interactively and on the web with modern technologies and the main product of the startup is Azto web-based platform and a provider of interactive simulators and virtual labs for secondary school students,” he added.
Registration of an educational institute for geometry training, preparation and compilation of educational content on the web, development of interactive simulators and virtual laboratories, obtaining approvals from the Iranian Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy and the Ministry of Education, developing virtual reality simulators, and providing services to students in disadvantaged areas and schools in Tehran are among the activities of this technological startup, Sotoudeh said.
In a relevant development in August, researchers of a knowledge-based company in Iran succeeded in designing electronic educational products for school students.
“The educational products designed in our company provide information to students. They include book bank, e-book, automation and question bank. These products can be used by schools and students,” Alireza Rezayee, a member of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
He added that all educational contents, like book exercises, textbooks, and national exam questions, are provided to students and schools in the form of chapters and lessons in this educational program, noting that students can be trained and even evaluated by using this electronic system.
Rezayee stated that the system can also provide a report on the performance of students and school to administrators which can reduce costs of education by 90%.
“All activities of our company, from code-writing to other activities, are carried out electronically and online. The UNESCO international organization chose our company as the first knowledge-based system and the first top e-learning company,” he added.
