EDUCATION

 

TRAVIS GO makes it easier to work with audiovisual media products (such as a movie clip, a music video or a commercial). Projects around audio or video material can be created in just a few steps on a laptop or tablet. Projects can be designed with existing teaching material or created entirely new in TRAVIS GO.

The web application allows for subject-specific work in school lessons, for example, in Language classes, History, Music Education, or Arts. You can use TRAVIS GO to implement curriculum requirements (e.g. for Switzerland: Curriculum 21) in an innovative and practical way. TRAVIS GO supports collaborative work in the classroom and in self-study phases.

Which didactic requirements does TRAVIS GO meet?

TRAVIS GO was designed in close cooperation with teachers for the use in school education. As crucial requirements, teachers mentioned, for example, simple technical management and use, flexibility in generating tasks for the students, or innovative forms of working with audiovisual media products. These key requirements were adequately implemented into the program structure and workflow of TRAVS GO.
