Scene-based learning

Real places, carried into the work.

A ward, a studio, a construction site. This is where the learning actually happens. Panova keeps the place in the work: you build the scene once, and students explore it, show what they noticed, and bring back what they saw.

Where the work starts

Every place you teach, ready to walk through.

Wards, plant rooms, site inductions and classrooms live together in one workspace. Start from a template, build each place as a sequence of scenes, and publish it to students the moment it's ready.

Start from a template

Begin with a template or a blank structure, then add the places your students need to see.

Every place, side by side

A ward, a plant room, a site induction, a classroom. Each one built as a sequence of scenes you can come back to.

Live when you publish

Share a link or embed it in your LMS. Every edit reaches your students the moment you save.

First to adopt PanovaUNSW College

UNSW College is bringing Panova into its new applied degrees, where learning in real workplaces sits at the centre of the program.

The problem

If you teach with a place, you’ve met these.

A ward, a plant room, a site. The learning happens there. Then the work comes back as text on a screen, and the place it came from is nowhere in it.

Readiness

How do I get students ready for a place before they meet it, so the first visit isn’t spent working out where to look?

The first visit goes to finding their feet.
The expert eye

How do I show students what an experienced eye picks out in a space, when I can’t stand beside every one of them?

The experienced eye doesn’t scale.
Grounding

How do I tell whether a student’s work comes from the thing in front of them, or could sit on top of anything?

A description that could fit anything.
Interpretation

How do I assess what a student noticed and why it mattered, not just how well they wrote about it afterwards?

Told, not shown.
One scene, three movements

One scene. Three things students do with it.

The same ward can orient a student before placement, check what they remember after it, and hold what they bring back.

Explore it

Students walk the scenes, open the pins and hear the narration before they ever set foot on the ward.

Show what they know

Pin the space from memory, spot the issue, sort pins into contexts, or work through a branching decision.

You seeWhere the cohort hesitates or misplaces pins, scene by scene.

Bring back what they saw

Students add evidence at your pins, or build their own version of the experience from what they met.

You seeEvery version handed in, side by side in the gallery.
Build once, use it many ways

One set of scenes. Every kind of activity.

Each activity is assembled from the scenes, pins and contexts you have already built. Nothing to rebuild, nothing to upload twice.

Create and observe

Students add their own work on top of yours.

Student versions

Students duplicate the experience and build their own in a simplified editor.

Place and recall

Can students put things where they belong?

Wayfinding challenge

Students navigate from A to B using the jump links: spatial recall, not just recognition.

Sort and sequence

Do students understand how the pieces relate?

Order the sequence

Students are handed your scenes out of order and put them back in sequence.

Judge and decide

Can students spot problems and choose well?

Branching scenario

A decision pin offers choices, each jumping to a different scene.

Where do you want to start?

For educators

Build it once. Use it many ways.

Capture the place, pin what an experienced eye would notice, add your voice, and switch on the activities that fit.

For students

Explore it. Show it. Bring it back.

What your students actually do: walk the scenes, prove what they noticed, and hand back work that still carries the place.

In practice

The same shift, whatever the place.

Wherever the learning happens in a real space, an image or a diagram, the scene keeps the reasoning where it belongs.

Where it fits

Standalone, or right inside your course.

Panova runs on its own. Send students a direct link, or place an experience on a page in your LMS so it sits inside the course.

Share a link

One direct link that always opens the current published version of the experience.

Embed it in a page

The same experience, sitting on a course page alongside everything else students use.

Accessible as you build

Describe every picture and every pin as you go. Panova shows your coverage as the experience grows.

Your LMS, the foundationPanova builds on it, never around it

What would your students’ work look like if it carried the place it came from?

Bring one place you teach with. We’ll talk through how it could work in your programs, scene by scene.

Part of StackleHQ

One place in a longer learning journey.

Panova works on its own. Paired with the other StackleHQ tools, the scene becomes part of a week, a reflection, a piece of work and a story students can come back to.
