Bringing AI into the Classroom with Eduverse+ 

Chinese International School of Hong Kong embraces ClassVR’s Eduverse+ subscription to drive immersive learning.

At Chinese International School of Hong Kong (CIS), innovation and inquiry are at the heart of learning. As a bilingual K–12 international school, CIS continually seeks cutting-edge tools to support future-ready skills across its diverse curriculum. When Learning Innovation Coach Dalton Flanagan was introduced to ClassVR’s new Eduverse+ subscription, it quickly became a cornerstone of their immersive learning approach.

Eduverse+ with AI Integration

ClassVR was already used across multiple subjects and grade levels, but the introduction of Eduverse+, with its AI image generation capabilities, significantly enhanced its use - particularly in creative writing.

In a recent Year 6 unit on narrative writing, students were tasked with describing their own fictional scenes - ranging from post-apocalyptic wastelands to enchanted forests. Using EduverseAI, part of the Eduverse+ library, these written descriptions were transformed into immersive 360° visuals, which students could then explore using their headsets.

“One student described a dystopian landscape filled with giant metal squids floating in the sky,” Dalton recalls. “We generated an image from his description, and it gave the class an incredible shared visual reference, which sparked great conversation around precision in writing.”

Empowering Students with AI Literacy

Before introducing Eduverse+ and other AI tools, Dalton lays a solid foundation in AI literacy. As a member of the school’s AI committee, he plays a central role in helping both staff and students understand emerging technologies and how to use them responsibly.

“I always begin with a quick AI literacy session,” he says. “We talk about how image generation models work, the importance of data transparency, and the dangers of misinformation like deepfakes. I want students to feel excited about these tools, but also thoughtful and critical.”

This thoughtful integration of technology and ethics ensures that students are not just passive users, but informed, ethical digital citizens.

Implementation: Supporting Inquiry Across the Curriculum

Dalton works closely with teachers to integrate ClassVR into their lesson plans. In English, Eduverse+ is helping elevate traditional creative writing into a multi-sensory narrative experience.

“Students often said, ‘I’m floating in the air!’ or ‘I didn’t expect it to look like this!’,” Dalton shares. “Those spontaneous reactions show just how immersive and memorable the experience was for them.”

Alongside English, the platform has been used in Chinese language classes for descriptive writing, as well as science units exploring ecosystems and habitats - with students creating Delightex projects and using QR codes to experience their own work within the ClassVR headsets.

Safe and Controlled Learning Environments

One of the key reasons CIS chose ClassVR over other commercial VR headsets was its robust safety and classroom management features. For Dalton, especially when working with younger learners, being able to guide, monitor, and control the VR experience is essential.

Teachers can view what students are seeing, direct headsets to specific content, and manage experiences in real time - providing peace of mind and enabling meaningful in-the-moment discussion.

Parent Engagement Through VR

Beyond the classroom, ClassVR has proven to be a powerful tool for celebrating student work with families. During parent showcases, students presented their immersive habitat designs and 3D worlds - not on a flat screen, but through the VR headset itself.

“It was amazing to see parents putting on the headsets and actually stepping into the worlds their children had created,” Dalton shares. “It’s a totally different experience from viewing it on a tablet - they were blown away.”

This hands-on showcase not only highlighted student creativity but also gave parents a glimpse into how future-ready tools like ClassVR are transforming learning experiences.

Engagement, Creativity, and Student Voice

The results have been overwhelmingly positive for CIS. Students are highly engaged and often full of excitement to see what their peers have created. Teachers have noted the impact on both student motivation and the depth of writing. “The Head of English popped into one of the sessions and asked the students how accurate they thought the images were,” Dalton recalls. “They responded that it was surprisingly accurate and that seeing their world made them want to write more about it.”

From fostering empathy to encouraging more vivid descriptions, ClassVR and Eduverse+ are reshaping how creative writing is taught - turning abstract ideas into vivid, shared experiences. With the success of Eduverse+, Dalton plans to expand its use across the school.
