MOVED BY LEARNING
iMO-LEARN ensures a revolutionary new learning experience by creating a
dynamic learning environment. From now on, we nog longer learn while sitting still,
but while moving. This adds an entirely new dimension to learning.

CHILDREN MOVE FAR TOO LITTLE. THEY OFTEN SPEND HALF OF THE DAY ON THEIR
CHAIRS. THIS IS BAD NEWS, BECAUSE MOVEMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR A HEALTHY MIND
(IN A HEALTHY BODY). ALL TOO OFTEN, MOVEMENT AT SCHOOL IS LIMITED TO PHYSICAL
EDUCATION CLASSES, PLAY TIME AND PERHAPS SOME SHORT EXERCISES. FOR THE REST
OF THE DAY, STUDENTS SPEND PROLONGED PERIODS ON THEIR CHAIRS. IT’S HIGH TIME
FOR A CHANGE!
Impact of movement on learning
Incorporating movement in the learning process creates a more challenging learning environment for children and
a higher involvement. Movement also stimulates the brains and has a positive impact on children’s learning process.
Movement throughout the school day, makes students less fidgety and more focused on learning. It will result in an
optimal learning outcome.
How can movement be easily linked to the curriculum?
i3-Technologies developed the iMO-LEARN, a smart cube that gives students the opportunity to move while learning. The
cube creates variety in the teaching materials and lessons. The lessons won’t be more complex, but more fascinating,
both for the teacher and for the students.

A remarkable feature of iMO-LEARN is its unique shape. From a distance, it seems to be a normal cube. But if you look a
bit closer, you’ll see that the cube doesn’t have any straight edges, which enables dynamic sitting.
iMO-LEARN comes in both analog and digital versions. The digital version has a motion sensor that communicates
wirelessly with the online i3LEARNHUB digital board software. This enables you to magically transform the iMO-LEARN
into an interactive and digital educational resource in no time at all.
The iMO-LEARN is made of expanded polypropylene. This material has a number of advantages:
• You can put various components together quickly and easily to create complex geometrical shapes.
• It is possible to produce hybrid components.
• The material makes the cube extremely light and therefore more comfortable to use,
relieving stress on the joints.
• Expanded polypropylene absorbs energy and moisture. This means the cube has a high level of
temperature resistance.
• The material is easy to recycle, and emissions during production are low.

THE CONCEPT
First of all, iMO-LEARN is designed to serve as school furniture to create a flexible learning environment.
Thanks to its unique shape and lightweight structure, it is possible to modify the class organization in an easy
and creative way. You can set up some basic configurations: circle, dialog circle, semi-circle and duo chair.
However, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t let your imagination take over and create one yourself: design
your own creative learning environment!

No more sitting still in class
THREE LEARNING METHODS (AT LEAST)
As you probably noticed by now, there are many more sides to the iMO-LEARN than the cube you see in front of you.
It challenges students and teachers to create more and more active learning methods on a daily basis. We have only
defined three of them: you will definitely discover more.(Dynamic sitting, Analog active learning, Active digital
Dynamic sitting
The simplest one is dynamic sitting. The iMO-LEARNs are extremely
suitable for this as there are no straight edges at all. Just try to sit still on
one! The students move considerably more than in a standard classroom
arrangement. This is a clear improvement towards more physical activity
at school.
You could use the iMO-LEARNs in class or integrate them into a special
‘move and learn’ area. The choice is yours!
Analog active learning
You can work with every side of the iMO-LEARN. The iMO can be used :
• For physical exercises that increase the heart rate of the students
for at least five minutes - comparable to physical activities.
• For short physical activities, cognitive challenges or a combination of
both. The goal is to pump fresh oxygen into the brains and create a
variety in lessons. These activities are called brain teasers.
• For activities that can be linked to specific learning matters to
support and promote the learning process. This type of activity is
called embodied learning (learning with your body).
An intense co-creation process with one hundred students and eight
teachers resulted in extremely diverse exercises on various subjects
such as mathematics, languages, balancing exercises and brain teasers.
Digital active learning
You can instantaneously transform the iMO-LEARNs into a digital learning
environment by providing them with motion sensors. For example: you
can link them with the i3LEARNHUB on your i3BOARD or digital board
and integrate them into the Quick Quiz module. The students answer
the questions by moving their iMO-LEARN,The computer picks up these
signals and subsequently sends them to the online web application
i3LEARNHUB. This way it’s possible to send answers to i3LEARNHUB by
using iMO-LEARN and show them in the quiz module.
Aside from using the quiz module, you can activate your students with
our interactive exercises in the i3LEARNHUB activity builder. This adds a
whole new dimension to embodied learning.

DYNAMIC SITTING
Here are four possible configurations that could inspire you:
The Circle
When sitting in a circle, teacher and student become equal partners in the
conversation. Everyone can see each other. This setup is perfectly suitable
for group conversations.
The Semi-Circle
The group is faced towards the same point, for example a screen or a
person. The available space in the middle can be used for activities.
The Dialog Circle
Place one half of the cubes in the inner circle and the other half in the outer
circle. In doing so, you create two groups in which students discuss topics
in pairs.
The Duo Chair
There are different ways to combine two cubes. Pupils sit down facing each
other, next to each other, turn in opposite directions or back to back.

ANALOG ACTIVE LEARNING
Book with 100 basic exercises
Creating and innovating by yourself is the basis of iMO-LEARN. We’ve developed 100 basic exercises in
collaboration with the test groups, in various knowledge and movement domains to make students and
teachers fully aware of the system’s possibilities. Try and use them as a basis for designing new exercises
yourself. All the exercises are gathered in a handy activity guide.

DIGITAL ACTIVE LEARNING
Digital module
The Motion Detection Module uses
a Bluetooth® connection to send
movements to the online learning
platform i3LEARNHUB. The teacher
connects the MDMs with the iMO
Connect software.
iMO Quick Quiz
Use the iMO Quick Quiz to create an
interactive quiz in i3LEARNHUB. Your
students can show their response
with the iMO-LEARN cube by using
the iMO symbols.
The system automatically detects the
answers. The results are immediately
displayed.

Activity Builder
Are your students tired of writing down words? Let them actively practice the subject matter with the activity builder. Build your
own activities and assign them to your students.
You can choose from a variety of working methods: word finder, categorization, gallows, memory, puzzle, … Use the word finder
to practice foreign languages!
Adapt the words to the level of your students and let them spell! They can switch between letters by turning the iMO-LEARN.
Encourage them to search for the solution together to promote collaboration in the classroom and get them engaged in learning.
You can even set a timer to challenge your students.

In our hyper-connected world, it is only logical that learning environments are
connected to the world outside.
As a consequence, traditional learning environments need to be transformed into
a social hub for interaction and connectivity, in which both cyberspace, computing
devices and traditional and digital meeting and teaching tools blend perfectly to
enable the optimal interaction experience.
