What Is ImagiLearning, Inc?

ImagiLearning, Inc.
John B. Jamison, MS.Ed., PhD.

The mission: To Create the Future of Learning

Where we are from:
20+ years experience teaching in higher education
15 years experience teaching at a distance
30 years of instructional design experience
25 years experience in game design & development
35+ years experience in project leadership

What we believe:
The immergence of digital technology and digital games has changed the way people communicate, are entertained, and the way they prefer to learn. The specific merging of games and learning creates unique challenges for traditional educators, who are familiar with more instructor-led environments. Our extensive experience in both games and formal learning put us in a unique position to speak both languages, and to see new ways to create a meaningful synergy for today’s learners. We highly respect traditional education, and yet strongly believe that change is necessary.

What we do:
Because of our living in both the digital and traditional worlds of education, we have the ability to interpret the changes taking place in a meaningful way. We can provide faculty development experiences to introduce traditional educators to the digital culture. This includes keynote addresses, half and full-day seminars and workshops, as well as online coaching and consulting.
Because of our experience in the culture of digital games, we have the ability to provide instructional design guidance for incorporating the engaging characteristics of the digital culture into the traditional learning experience, and to create more meaningful assessment strategies.
Because of our experience in creating and directing distance learning programs, and our years of teaching in the distance environments, we have the ability to provide guidance and support in incorporating the elements of the digital culture in your distance program, to create higher levels of engagement, satisfaction and retention.
And because of our specific work in the new field of virtual world technology, we can provide guidance and support to help you understand and consider implementing environments such as Second Life to add new levels of engagement in learning, as well as in your administrative and day-to-day communication activities.

How we work:
We are prepared to work with you at your location, through the use of communication tools such as Skype or Elluminate, or to provide you with our full range of services on our three islands in the virtual world of Second Life.
