EdVisto - Video Storytelling for Learning Information

The company behind EdVisto.com was created in partnership with Helsinki University in the autumn of 2015. The result builds on years of practical research seeking to develop modern teaching and learning methods for the new generation. The result was born by combining the most ancient teaching method, storytelling, with modern technology for consuming information, mobile videos and social media. EdVisto is a web-based platform optimized for mobile devices that transforms key elements from global sharing and social platforms like YouTube and Facebook into a powerful learning method designed for the education sector. EdVisto focuses on the learning process that occurs during students’ creation of video stories in collaboration with others. Teachers take on the facilitator role and let students’ creativity and group dynamic be at the center, while collaboration is encouraged both locally and internationally through specific features that connect teachers and students across schools and countries.
