Thinking Like a Historian- ILE + Meta Quest 3s Headset

Step into an immersive VR learning experience that transforms students into real historians. Crash-land on a mysterious island aboard an interdimensional research spacecraft and survey the terrain from above using a drone navigation system. Explore a devastated harbor, investigate abandoned sectors, and piece together what happened to a vanished civilization by examining written messages, environmental clues, and physical evidence scattered across the landscape. Work alongside Synapse, your AI research assistant, as you gather findings and compile an official investigation report using the same analytical methods that professional historians rely on every day. Then return to your space station for a new mission from central command — analyze artifacts recovered from unknown civilizations across different universes to identify cultural characteristics, evaluate levels of technological development, and determine what may have caused each society's decline. Consult with the Commander as you examine primary source objects, draw evidence-based conclusions, and complete a comprehensive analysis of why civilizations rise and fall. Throughout both missions, students practice distinguishing between primary and secondary sources, evaluating bias and reliability, considering historical context, and constructing well-supported interpretations.
