Case Study: Spesia Vocational College empowers inclusive student-created interactive learning with ThingLink

Spesia Vocational College empowers special education with ThingLink and 300 student-created implementations

Spesia Vocational College, a special education institution in Finland, needed a flexible and inclusive digital learning platform to address the unique challenges of its diverse student body. The college sought a solution that would move students from being passive content consumers to active creators, enabling experiential learning with advanced technologies like VR and AR while ensuring equal participation for all learners regardless of ability. They turned to ThingLink to meet this challenge.

ThingLink provided an intuitive platform that was embedded into the college's Digilab workshops and courses, empowering students to create their own interactive and immersive learning experiences. Students successfully built escape rooms, virtual tours, and educational games, developing future-ready digital and vocational skills. The solution resulted in high engagement, with students creating approximately 300 implementations. ThingLink enabled universal participation, allowing every learner, including those with significant physical and cognitive disabilities, to create concrete and meaningful digital content, thereby boosting confidence and demonstrable skill acquisition.
