i-education was given the brief of creating an engaging learning environment specifically to appeal to disenfranchised students. The environment was to encapsulate the theme of enterprise in an engaging manner.

The students will first login to their home, "Lounge" environment. This acts as the base for the experience in system. Initially the lounge is delapidated and sparsely decorated, but through their progress in the environment they will be given the opportunity to improve their surroundings.

The lounge will offer three potential routes:

1) To Learn. The students can choose from a range of 300+ KS3 and KS4 lessons to study. These take the form of interactive, multimedia rich e-learning content. As the student studies, they are rewarded with "enterprise points".

2) To Work. Each student selects a place of work (currently 4 options available). Here they will make managerial decisions to build up their enterprise and turn it into a flourishing business. As their enterprises earn revenue, the student will be rewarded with virtual money. This money can then be spent improving their lounge or in games.

3) To Play. Money earned can be spent on experience days. These experiences (currently 16 available) take the form of short games, such as paintball, snowboarding or white water rafting.

The system aims to reinforce the theory that the harder you work in your lessons, the more likely you are to succeed in your work life, and hence the richer your experiences and surroundings in life.
