Modernizing Skills Development and Competence Assessment through Immersive Learning

ThingLink Partner Ecosystem in India

ThingLink is building a long-term presence in India together with a trusted ecosystem of local partners to help modernize skills development and competence assessment across national, state, and institutional programs.

Aligning Skills with Industry and Public Sector Demand

Technical and vocational education systems in India face increasing pressure to respond to rapidly changing industry and public sector skill requirements. However, updating curricula, tools, and teaching practices often takes time, and many institutions struggle to simultaneously upskill educators and improve the quality of digital learning experiences. In addition to technology, ThingLink works with local partners to provide holistic teacher training and adoption support, helping institutions modernize learning as part of broader digital transformation initiatives.

Preparing Learners for Real-World Work Environments

Immersive and spatial learning environments help students connect theory with real-world practice, explore complex scenarios, and develop decision-making skills. ThingLink empowers any educator to create these interactive visual spaces - where learners engage, communicate, and can demonstrate understanding. Experiential learning research has proven that this approach not only promotes deeper engagement, but also provides opportunities for more authentic and meaningful formative learning and summative assessment.

Evidence-Based Education Technology

Governments and institutions seek education technologies that are supported by research and demonstrated impact. ThingLink has been recognized as an evidence-based digital learning platform and was selected for inclusion in the Learning Cabinet, a global initiative that identifies and supports scalable education solutions with strong evidence of effectiveness.

Designed to work with existing national and institutional infrastructure

ThingLink allows immersive learning experiences to work within existing education and training ecosystems rather than replacing them. This includes national platforms such as DIKSHA, ePathshala, and SWAYAM, as well as LMS platforms, analytics systems, device ecosystems, XR hardware, and immersive rooms.

  • National platforms: DIKSHA, ePathshala, SWAYAM

Partnership Models in India in Three Simple Steps

1

Pilot Programs and Innovation Projects

Institutions can begin with a structured pilot program to explore how immersive learning environments support skills development and competence assessment. These pilots allow program leaders to test practical use cases, gather evidence of educational impact, and evaluate the strategic benefits of immersive learning before larger-scale implementation.

2

Teacher Training and Capacity Building

Successful digital transformation requires empowering educators with new pedagogical approaches and tools. ThingLink and its partners provide comprehensive teacher training programs, including self-paced online learning, live webinars, and hands-on workshops. These programs help educators design immersive learning experiences, assess applied competencies, and build professional learning communities that support long-term adoption.

3

Large-Scale Institutional and Program Implementations

For institutions and national programs seeking systemic impact, ThingLink works with local partners to support large-scale deployments of immersive learning environments. These initiatives may include platform implementation, capability development, integration with existing learning systems, teacher training, and ongoing program support. Together with partners, ThingLink helps institutions scale innovative learning practices across departments, campuses, and regional education networks.
