XR Mall vs All Walks App

XR MALL is a free multifunctional interpreting and public speaking learning app which combines virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mobile technologies to allow learners around the world to study anytime and anywhere. XR MALL is designed for a research project based on a theoretical framework that integrates a constructivist approach, an interpreter competence model and a public speaking competence model. The content comprises comprehensive learning resources, video lectures, VR practice, AR vocabulary lists, a feedback platform, a speech analysis tool, self-assessment materials, exercises, and guidelines for interactive dual-role-play interpreting activities. Users can choose the learning content (English-Chinese and Chinese-English interpreting or public speaking) and difficulty level (elementary or advanced) they wish to practice with. For the interpreting practice, users can select (i) the mode of interpreting (e.g., sight translation or consecutive interpreting), (ii) the language direction (English-Chinese or Chinese-English), and (iii) the mode of practice (VR or non-VR). Users’ interpretations will be audio-recorded. Users are able to download their own recordings as well as model interpretations (source texts and translated texts) so that they can evaluate their performance based on the online self-assessment guidelines as well as comments on the feedback platform. For public speaking practice, users can choose the speaking contexts (school or workplace). Users can add their own presentation slides into the app and practice delivering a presentation in VR using these slides. Through the app, any independent user can learn by doing and immerse themselves in virtual learning environments that provide skill-based and profession-oriented practice with real-world features. Furthermore, it encourages collaborative learning in which learners can interact with each other online. In addition to self-directed learning, XR MALL can be incorporated into traditional classes. In terms of pedagogical contributions, the app will potentially enable multi-sensory experience, promote learning motivation, and enhance teaching and learning effectiveness via practice on authentic and student-centered tasks.

Living in a rapidly changing era with VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) and Artificial Intelligence ultra self-learning speed, the only competitive advantage human has is our humanity with soft skills. All Walks Features -Alleviate resources needed with the digital educational tool on mental health literacy Systematic course curriculum derived from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Content created with translational research with psychologist, counselors, social workers, teachers and researchers in the field of social science and health science -Personalized multimodal learning journey with high flexibility Self-paced microlearning materials and exercises to build your mental muscles in wherever and whenever -Regular monitoring Self-administrated assessment and evaluation for mental health status -Gamification Developed by game engine with strong support of game development elements to enhance user’s engagement The name All Walks comes from All Walks of Life, which means that diverse human beings will embark on different paths due to differences in their personalities, backgrounds, experiences and life choices. With a zillion things we encounter on these different paths (道), quoting Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" (道德經) "The opposite is the movement of the Tao, and the weak is the use of the Tao" (反者道之動，弱者道之用) and "Persevering and enriching it is not as good as oneself" (持而盈之，不如其己). Although there are always two opposite attributes in everything, the two attributes would always rotate cyclically (循環轉化). We must be aware that each extreme “degree” would lead to reversal, and master every "degree" would lead to better control our path (道). Company Vision: Accompany you to become global citizen to enrich your life in the future Company Mission: Provide a hybrid mode of learning platform to enhance students' mental health literacy with personalized digital journey that minimized manpower through systematic micro-learning, interactive exercises, and learning analytics.
