Using New Media to Support Education
Two Bridges Instruction Technology develops instructional materials that incorporate modern media forms in innovative ways. As a wise Communications professor once observed. new media forms are often used in old ways: the first movies were filmed live plays, the first television shows were televised radio shows. Only when ways are found to apply a new medium does that medium shine.
To support traditional learning tools, we create digital narratives that support the mastery of key principles or that serve as case studies. Two Bridges is currently exploring generative AI to supplement our work using sandbox simulation and alternative reality games to create more immersive case studies.
