Case Study: Basingstoke College of Technology empowers student-created immersive learning with ThingLink

Basingstoke College of Technology creates a 3-month AI-powered Genesis tour with ThingLink

Basingstoke College of Technology sought to enhance its digital learning strategy and empower students to develop industry-relevant skills by leveraging new technologies. A student, Camila, faced a specific challenge in creating an interactive course on the book of Genesis: she could not find appropriate, free-to-use 360-degree imagery online. She turned to vendor ThingLink as the central platform for her project.

Using ThingLink's Guided Tours tool, the student integrated AI-generated 360 imagery from Skybox (now integrated into ThingLink) and character images created in Midjourney to build an extraordinary interactive tour. The solution saved immense time and allowed for the creation of otherwise impossible historical environments. The project successfully demonstrated the power of AI to unlock student creativity and develop critical industry skills, serving as an inspirational example for the college. ThingLink's platform was pivotal in enabling the creation and sharing of this professional-grade content.
