About

Virtual Spitfire

Features
Read full description

Virtual Spitfire aims to support individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences, targeting low skilled adults living in post-industrial areas. It will also focus on upskilling adult educators in the use of Virtual Reality in the educational process. This will be carried out by utilising the interest and local knowledge of the people and environments of post- industrial landscapes. We will encourage the often deep interest for the local area by using the context of old industrial factories, mines, harbours, agricultural production centres that once stood at the centre of local communities. The industries may have disappeared or experienced technological change such as automation leading to loss of employment. The Partnership is composed of 5 partners from 4 countries; UK, Sweden, France and Greece all working with adult education in socially deprived areas of post industrial decline.

Parent-approved YouTube, without the algorithm. YouTube has brilliant content for childrenβ€”but parents shouldn't have to trust an algorithm to find it. Kivvie only shows channels you have personally approved. ONLY APPROVED CHANNELS APPEAR Kivvie starts empty. Add the channels you trust from the parent dashboard, and your child sees videos from those channels only. They cannot search for or discover random channels. NO SHORTS, COMMENTS OR RECOMMENDATIONS Kivvie removes Shorts, comments and algorithmic recommendations, helping children focus on the full-length videos you chose. A DIFFERENT SETUP FOR EVERY CHILD Create separate profiles with channels suited to each child's age and interests. MANAGE FROM ANY DEVICE Use the Kivvie web dashboard to create profiles, approve channels and make changes remotely. Updates sync to the mobile app. SIMPLE FOR KIDS Children get a clean, focused video feed built around the channels their parent selected. HOW TO GET STARTED 1. Sign in at kivvie.app. 2. Create a child profile. 3. Approve the channels you trust. 4. Sign in to the Kivvie app with the same account, or pair a child device using a setup code. 5. Choose a profile and start watching. Kivvie uses a whitelist-only model: if you did not approve a channel, it does not appear.
