Whole Body Metaphor Research “Waves”

“Waves” is a full body experience where learners act as a wave. This project is a continuing effort evaluating learning impacts on learners who use their entire bodies as components in a learning environment. Learners use their bodies to add energy to waves and work together to unlock achievments. Do learners retain more information when high levels of physical activity are reached?
