IMMERSIVE PRACTICUM LAB: CINEMATIC SIMULATIONS MEET AI-DRIVEN ASSESSMENT

Transform your students’ learning journey with Genius Academy’s Immersive Practicum Labs—a cutting-edge approach to developing real-world skills in a controlled, impactful environment. These labs leverage the power of AI-driven feedback and cinematic storytelling to create deeply engaging and transformative educational experiences. Use the Immersive Practicum Labs asynchronously, in the classroom, or both.

‍Engage Through Realism: Students enter immersive, high-stakes scenarios that mirror real-world challenges, allowing them to practice critical skills like empathy, decision-making, and cultural competency in a safe space.

‍Accelerate Skill Mastery: Built on the Learning by Doing Framework, students progress through structured stages — Observe, Conceptualize, Strategize, Communicate, Assess, and Reflect — ensuring thorough comprehension and application of advanced techniques.

‍Proven Outcomes: Institutions have seen measurable success, with students excelling in complex therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) thanks to our modular design.

“Overall, I was really impressed with the videos and the feedback I was given. The actress is great! I love how complex her clinical picture is. The portion of the videos that provide a “re-enactment” of moments with her dad, out on the date, at work, etc. make for a richer viewer experience and held my attention. The text prompts for what to include in my response were really helpful and made it feel less overwhelming. I really appreciated the specificity of the AI feedback. I kept looking for generic text that I might skim over, but each time found language drew directly from what I said. This helped me give more value to the feedback. There was a nice balance of strengths highlighted as well as constructive feedback. I was reminded how important it is to articulate empathy consistently, ask for specific details and keep questions open.”

Virtual Client Experience: Live Synchronous Sessions

Step into the future of mental health education with Genius Academy’s Virtual Client Experience. This groundbreaking tool offers live, human-powered simulations that place students in dynamic, real-time scenarios.

Designed to replicate the complexities of professional practice, these simulations foster critical skills such as interpersonal communication, empathy, and decision-making under pressure.

These clinical sessions offer unparalleled versatility, allowing for 1:1 interactions enhanced by AI assessments or dynamic group settings that foster collaborative learning and faculty-led feedback. In 1:1 sessions, students gain personalized practice and actionable insights on critical skills like cognitive empathy and communication. Group settings, on the other hand, encourage rich discussions, peer learning, and a deeper understanding of complex scenarios, empowering all participants to engage meaningfully to build career readiness.

"Being able to guide/provide feedback to students via chat, in real-time, was a really good approximation to having a state-of-the-art training clinic where we would have their rooms wired for the video feed and sound recordings, and a "bug in the ear" where I could also whisper, "hold that silence" lol I saw them get better as the hour progressed, via real-time feedback. It was pretty cool."
