The start of the new term has ignited creativity across the ClassView community.
Throughout the ClassView community, our immersive connected spaces are always bustling hubs of activity. Once again spearheading the spooky celebrations, you might recall last year's Spooky Escape Room created by the Bradford Library Team. This year, they've outdone themselves with a Dracula-themed escape room. At the forefront again, Bradford College ESOL team conducted CPD sessions for staff, focusing on leveraging the full spectrum of technology available in the immersive space.
The standout moment for us has been the collaborative session between Bradford College and USP College on AI for computing students, perfectly capturing the spirit of ClassView and our connected spaces. It's a remarkable example of collaborative learning.
Elsewhere in the community we have some extremely thrilling project news and a sneak peek below of the largest space we have ever embarked on.
We are always delighted to see colleges sharing the diverse range of activities hosted within their ClassView connected spaces. These contributions are invaluable, as they promote the sharing of best practices, spark innovative ideas, and disseminate lessons learned. This, in turn, amplifies knowledge exchange, nurtures new networks, and fosters partnerships and collaboration across the entire ClassView community.

Halloween festivities are underway at Bradford College Library!
Following several weeks of reading Dracula Bradford College ESOL students, organised a Dracula Escape Room this week to wrap up the book and celebrate Halloween. During this session, students and staff were able to further explore their impressive I-Immersive Room, completing all tasks on the screens using Miro.
Amanda Fernandes Librarian and Data Scientist said:
"It was a huge team effort—creating the script, designing the tasks, digitising everything, and preparing the presentation. This time, we even had decorations (including a coffin!), and we dressed up to match the occasion! All the hard work was absolutely worth it. The students had a great time, and we all had a lot of fun!
A massive thank you to everyone who made it happen and/or supported our “imaginative” ideas!" A special thank you to Alan, the best Dracula ever!"
Bradford College kicks off a bustling week with STEM sessions
