In cooperation with developmental psychologists and pedagogues, Professor Gerald Wirth developed his engagement-centric teaching methodology – the wirth method – aiming at constant high-level student attention. Through neuronal networks activated when using movement to support teaching and through repetitions with variations, contents are sustainably stored in the long-term memory. The use of NES based on the wirth method applying VR & AR allows teachers and students in addition to personal tuition, to practice, gain experience and receive feedback. This also implies the detection of talents or deficiencies as ADHD. It will be a combined talk + interactive workshop that will make people sing.
