The New Learning Institute delivers engaging, personalized, project-based digital media programs to young people and educators. We work in classrooms, after-school centers, museums, and cultural institutions, or wherever learning takes place. Using the latest mobile technologies and digital media practices and tools, we help young people explore their interests, direct their own learning, and better prepare themselves for living and working in the 21st century.

The New Learning Institute Supports Startl

Startl™ is a new social enterprise dedicated to supporting the innovation of effective, affordable, and accessible learning products.

Startl’s focus is creating the conditions for success that let innovators create and capitalize products that truly help learners learn. The New Learning Institute has made an investment in Startl to support the development of its Design Boost, a hands-on, real-world involvement in the design and product development process.

Point & Find Augments Reality

The New Learning Institute is using Nokia Point & Find in its programming.

Nokia Point & Find enables people on the move to access relevant information and services on the Internet, simply by pointing their mobile phone camera at real-life objects. The potential for self-directed learning is limitless. Students, working in environments such as museums and cities, can curate their experiences and link them to media they create themselves.

The New Learning Institute is on the Hunt with SCVNGR

The New Learning Institute is using SCVNGR, a mobile gaming platform.

SCVNGR enables anyone to easily create scavenger hunts and other location-based games, tours, and interactive experiences and play them with a mobile device. The NLI will also be producing program plans and curriculum to support SCVNGR applications in schools and community organizations.
