Brian! Hack 1.4.6

Screenshots

Description

Brian allows its students to learn and practice exam material with the ease of a social, competitive, digital game.

Dry presentation slides, crowded lecture halls, and endless bullet point lists are not things of the past. Even thirty years after the birth of the World Wide Web, academic educational content is dry as dust and tiresome. Unfortunately, all too often charming, well-curated, and funny designed content is not available.

Brian has the ambition to shake up educational institutions. Learning should, no, must be fun, to be sustainably efficient and effective. The use of algorithms, storytelling, and game mechanics enable us to fulfill this promise. Brian is here to help you learn playfully with humor and a bit of madness.

So, game on!
