Immersive Environment Creation

What it is

We design interactive 360° environments that allow audiences to explore places, stories and ideas in dynamic digital spaces. Each environment combines panoramic imagery, video, audio and interactive tags to create an experience that feels like stepping inside a place — whether that place is real, historical or entirely imagined.

Experiences are accessed via a simple web link and can be embedded in websites, presentations, learning platforms or sent directly to users. No specialist hardware or software is required.

What we create

Virtual field trips and curriculum-linked learning environments
Interactive heritage and cultural tours
Story-based exploration spaces
Escape room and challenge-based learning environments
Staff onboarding and training environments
Conference and event showcase spaces

Suitable for: Schools • Multi-academy trusts • Museums • Heritage sites • Cultural organisations • Education charities • Universities

How it works

Every project begins with a conversation about your audience, your aims and your existing content. From there we handle everything — from photography and content creation through to the finished interactive environment — or we can work with assets you already have.

Projects are scoped, planned and delivered to a clear brief with regular checkpoints, so you always know where things are and what's coming next.

Training & Professional Development

AI in Education

A practical, honest workshop helping educators and education leaders understand what AI can actually do — and build real confidence across their teams.

This is not a technology showcase. It is a grounded, experience-led session that covers what AI tools are genuinely useful for, where the risks and ethical considerations lie, and how to create a culture in your organisation where staff feel safe to experiment and share. Participants leave with specific tools to try, a clearer sense of their own organisation's needs, and the confidence to lead on this rather than follow.

Gemma developed and delivered this material as part of her work on the Welsh Government-funded Wales Curriculum Learning Design (WCLD) project, where she has trained teachers across Wales and produced national AI guides published on Hwb. The workshop is practical, honest and designed for busy people — not technologists.

Immersive Learning & 360° Design

As a certified ThingLink Trainer, Gemma delivers hands-on workshops for educators and organisations who want to create their own immersive 360° environments. Sessions are practical from the start — participants leave with a working environment they have built themselves, not just an understanding of how it might be done.

Training can be delivered as a standalone workshop, an ongoing programme or as mentoring support alongside a live project.

Programme Design & Delivery

With almost ten years running Confused.com's company-wide Agile training programme — designing the curriculum, delivering it to everyone from graduate developers to the senior leadership team, and later helping Admiral's team build and launch their own equivalent — Gemma brings serious, proven experience to training design.

If your organisation needs help designing a training programme, not just attending one, this is a conversation worth having.

Training formats:

In-person workshops • Online sessions • Bespoke programme design • Ongoing mentoring

Suitable for: Schools • Multi-academy trusts • Education charities • Cultural organisations • Corporate organisations with education or digital training needs

Educational Resource Development

What it is

All resources can be designed for bilingual delivery and built for use on platforms including Hwb, school websites and learning management systems.

What we develop

Curriculum-linked immersive learning environments
Interactive digital field trips
Story-based and character-led exploration spaces
Enquiry-based challenge and escape room resources
CPD resources for educators

Suitable for:

Schools • Education charities • Welsh Government bodies • Cultural organisations • Museums

Our approach

Good educational resources are built backwards from the learner. We start with the learning outcome — what should a pupil understand, feel or be able to do differently — and design the experience around that. Gemma's classroom experience across Reception to Year 6, combined with her work on the WCLD project, means every resource we produce is designed with real teaching practice in mind, not just good intentions.

We are experienced in working to funded project briefs and commissioning standards, including Adnodd-funded resources for the Curriculum for Wales.

Project Consultancy & Digital Strategy

What it is

Immersive Discoveries offers consultancy for organisations navigating complex digital education projects — from initial scoping and strategy through to delivery oversight and quality assurance.

Many digital education projects stall not because the ideas are wrong, but because the delivery infrastructure isn't there. Briefs aren't translated into workable plans. Timelines slip. Stakeholders aren't aligned. The gap between what was commissioned and what gets built grows wider. This is where we add most value.

What Gemma brings

Gemma spent 14 years in senior programme leadership roles at Confused.com, part of a FTSE-listed business, managing large-scale digital programmes, cross-functional teams and multi-million-pound budgets to board-level reporting standards. She holds PRINCE2, AgilePgM® Practitioner, Certified Scrum Master and BCS Business Analysis qualifications — a combination rarely found in the education sector.

Since retraining as a primary teacher and completing a PGCE with the Open University, she has worked across diverse schools in Wales and served as a Research Assistant on the Welsh Government-funded WCLD project — giving her current, practitioner-level knowledge of the Curriculum for Wales, the Welsh education landscape and the specific demands of publicly commissioned education projects.

She has already delivered an Adnodd-funded resource from brief to completion, meaning she understands the commissioning process from the inside.

Suitable for: Education charities • Welsh Government bodies • Educational publishers • Cultural organisations managing funded digital projects • Schools and trusts planning significant digital investment
