27.5 Million Global Engaged Players

10. Perspective
• 1970s – 1990s; IBM, Apple, Microsoft were vying for the personal
computer space. They each had a few hundred million dollars. They all
ended up winning in various ways and influenced the world as we
know it.
• 2015 – 2021; Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon are all playing in the
immersive learning/metaverse space. The difference is they all have a
few trillion dollars and have proven this space.
• ORU has become a clear leader in this space on more fronts than most
realize. (technology, buildings, thought-leadership, awards, credibility,
spiritual reasoning).

11. One might say ...
We have the capabilities of extending God’s reality of whole person
education to all nations, tribes, tongues, people, and generations.

12. One could say …
We are allowing God’s love to be ‘overlaid’ to all nations, tribes, tongues,
people, and generations using all means possible.
Education is the key … as the entire earth will be filled with the knowledge of
glory of the Lord, as much as the water covers the seas.

(Meta-levels above)
He is overlaying His:
Love, compassion,
grace, mercy,
salvation, healing,
knowledge, gifts,
sanctification, wisdom,
revelation, dreams, etc.

24. John 12:24
(Meta-levels above)

26. Facebook (Meta), Apple,
Microsoft, etc.
Have Nothing on God!

27. God’s overlays of creation and
God’s image of Himself in and
through His people are far superior
than any digital version.

28. His Kingdom in all it’s splendor is
superior with ‘youinverse’ in it.

29. His Kingdom in all its splendor is
superior with ‘youinverse’ in it.
Spiritual is superior to digital!
What if we could leverage both?

34. Both VR and Education are Mind-altering
• Better said … ‘whole person’ education is life-altering; and each realm of
discovery and revelation proves this in a greater manner.
• We are all part of leveraging the life-giving aspect of education,
knowledge, wisdom, intelligence in ways we never thought possible –
but God already knew.

35. Isaiah 2:2 (written 1,900 Years ago)
“In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s
temple will be established as the highest of
the mountains; it will be exalted above the
hills, and all nations will stream to it.” (NIV)

36. Brief Overview of Artificial Intelligence
• AI can never possess faith, hope, or love
• AI can merely learn patterns of routine,
behavior, and actions.
• AI should be used to ensure our routine and
mundane activities are taken care of so we
can focus on faith, hope, and love.
• AI is a autonomous re-prioritizing of my life,
routine, and reminders that allows my mind
to be less fatigued and stressed.
• AI can give me ‘nudges’ and ‘feedback’ of my
actions.

37. AI is Not a Replacement Technology
AI/ML is an
embedded
function or
feature
used to
leverage a
systemic
approach to
technology
design.

Definitions – Flipped Classroom
Flipped classroom is an instructional
strategy and a type of blended learning
that reverses the traditional learning
environment by delivering instructional
content, often online, outside of
the classroom. It moves activities,
including those that may have
traditionally been considered homework,
into the classroom.

45. 45
Definitions – Flipped School
Flipped University is an educational model
that leverages the best of ‘fluid’ technology,
and education to meet the needs of a ‘fluid’
world from one central location.
OneCampus™ that is flipped around the
world for the betterment of humanity.

58. HUMAN-WARE
The new middleware and integration used in
Edtech design that takes best of all technology
and appreciates how each human functions,
thinks, learns, creates, and applies knowledge.
Technology by itself does not improve Student
outcomes or educational models. However, when
augmented with the ‘whole-human’ (IQ, EQ, SQ,
and MQ) it makes all the difference.
