#Aristotl learning system aims to rejuvenate STEM learning with platform heavy on visualization FORT COLLINS A Fort Collins man is aiming to revitalize the American education system with a new STEM-focused visual
learning platform he calls Aristotl after the Greek philosopher and teacher. Alan Witty a teacher serial entrepreneur and businessman believes U s. students are falling behind their global counterparts in STEM (science technology engineering
and math) skills and he attributes part of that situation to an education system that fails to make those subjects compelling and more easily understandable.
and owner of a popular downtown Fort Collins bar says a teaching position at Colorado Technical University he accepted in 2005 opened his eyes to how technology could be used to create a more engaging and visual learning experience. began thinking there must be a better
way to engage students and that how the company startedhe said. Witty president and CEO of KSHARE Inc. said his Aristotl Learning Platform is sophisticated a yet simple-to-use virtual classroom
and content creation tool that enables interactive online learning across a dynamic multidimensional landscape. With his software Witty says users can set up
and run a real-time experiment in a virtual online classroom that can explain and demonstrate STEM concepts in vivid 3d detail.
which can be delivered in a classroom online or through a combined approach. Witty said he set out to create a learning platform that is both student
and teacher-friendly. y thought was how can I create a tool for the teacher that is as flexible as possible
Witty said he believes visual learning is important to address the needs of students who are digital natives
besthe says. oday you have to appeal to a student in the language they understand and the world they live in is an extremely visual one. ill Van Eron owner of Headwaters
