The Australian students will be awarded Knowkens for the successful completion of learning objectives achieved using a range of immersive technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (VR), Minecraft VR, and, most recently, eSports (electronic sports) via Australia's eSports education academy.
The Knowledge Token®, or Knowken®, is a digital incentive, participation and reward token that is awarded to learners in exchange for intellectual achievements.
Knowkens may be used to pay for VR headsets, 360 degree VR cameras, VR and gaming graphics cards (GPUs), iPhones & iPads, computers, Minecraft accounts & servers, video games, and more.

Led by Wooranna PPS teacher and iED Club guide Kieran Nolan, the Australian Immersive Education program expands the Knowledge Token® collaboration established last year between the school and the Immersive Education Initiative.
