Big Sky Learning - The Big Learning Machine

What is the Big Learning Machine?

The Big Learning Machine is an educational web app capable of leading learners through complex hands on projects. Think of it as a self paced video tutorial that branches depending on learner needs moment to moment. We call this Incremental Video Instruction, or IVI.

IVIs are coupled with projects developed at our summer STEM program Big Sky Build It!. Over the past two decades thousands of learners have completed Big Sky Build It! projects, many of them powered by Big Learning Machine IVIs.

Big Learning Machine is a STEM kit that comes with an amazing teacher inside.

“The ideal learning environment has one teacher for every student. With self-paced branching video content, this is possible.”

-Michael Sheppard - Big Learning Machine

“What Big Learning Machine is doing is long-overdue. It’s clear that this sort of active learning far outstrips more conventional methods. Not only will students learn more, but they also will come away having enjoyed the experience and thirsty for more.”
