FT. COLLINS, COLORADO , UNITED STATES, January 22, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The means of effectively delivering an education is undergoing a constant process of change and improvement. As our means of learning improves, different subjects have different needs. Some subjects, like business or the social sciences, do not require much visual representation. Many other subjects do. In a chemistry and physics lab students need to have the ability to see how kinetic energy works or to witness the structure of an atom or molecule. With this need to improve the visualization of online learning in mind Alan Witty founded Aristotl. Aristotl is a virtual 3D classroom and content creation tool. It also includes an educational community and content marketplace. Designed from the ground up to serve the next generation of science, technology, engineering and math students in part by incorporating elements like three dimensional models.

The first version of Aristotl will include libraries of images related to chemistry, astronomy, anatomy and physics. Aristotl will feature virtual labs in which users can setup and run virtual online experiments of their choice. Students can also create and join study groups in order to review these concepts and collaborate with others in their own school or across the globe.
Aristotl works by letting teachers develop and deliver immersive 3D courses with real time chat and video conferencing. There will also be an HTML 5 whiteboard. This is augmented by a content authoring tool which will allow users to draw on objects from existing 3D STEM libraries or to create their own unique content. Classes will allow for playback on virtually any platform. Work is being done to develop teacher gesture controls for the classroom and to use virtual reality systems. Aristotl is will run across all platforms. Aristotl is truly a cutting edge tool that gives the best possible means to explain subjects in an interactive way.

There are many reasons why there is a demand for a service like Aristotl. There is a growing need for individuals who hold degrees in science, technology, engineering and math. A Brookings study also found that close to 40% of all jobs require STEM skills and knowledge. STEM is also popular. Websites dedicated to these fields see millions of visitors a month. Cross that demand with the fact that almost 65 percent of people are visual learners. These people need to see things properly in order to understand them. Technical fields also require continuing education and lifelong learning. Whether it is in preparation for higher education, a new career or simply to foster learning Aristotl offers something for everyone.
The man behind Aristotl, President and CEO Alan Witty, has over two decades of experience building broad experiences as an educator, consultant and operational manager. Alan is an Assistant Professor at Colorado Technical University Online as well as an Adjunct Instructor at both Ashford University and Axia University Online. In these roles he has witnessed the evolution of virtual education first-hand. To add to his credentials, Alan also holds multiple degrees including an MBA in International Business from George Washington University. He has held senior positions at KPMG, KPMG Consulting and Ernst and Young.

Aristotl is a rare concept in that it has the ability to improve lives through better education and to help connect people in a global community focused on STEM. In order to support the achievement of this goal an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign has been created and will proceed until March 1st. Many of the rewards for this campaign are based around getting access to this valuable software. For a crowdfunding pledge of $100 dollars, donors will be given a free copy of the final course editor and meeting software. Those who contribute $250 dollars will receive a free copy of the software plus one course developed at the request of the donor. Other rewards can be seen on the IndieGoGo site.
