Learning objectives
By the end of this module, students will be able to:
Explain the principle of micropropagation and totipotency
Prepare explants from shoot tip, axillary bud, and anther
Follow aseptic technique through the workflow
Describe the stages of in-vitro plant propagation
Complete a scaffolded assessment on tissue culture
About the module
Tissue culture you can practise without a sterile lab.
Sterile technique is the hardest part of tissue culture to learn. In VR, students rehearse the full micropropagation workflow without contamination risk or expensive media.
Students prepare and inoculate shoot tip, axillary bud, and anther explants, and follow the stages of in-vitro propagation.
The 7thi AI tutor sits alongside the whole experience, scaffolding the difficult parts and giving subject-aware answers in context. Built-in assessment lets faculty see, per student, who has grasped which concepts - without grading another paper.

7thi and assessment in this module
7thi in this module
Students can ask 7thi questions at any point - about botany or anything they see in the simulation. 7thi answers in context, without breaking the flow.
Assessment
Session data - concepts mastered, time per scene, assessment scores - appears on the faculty dashboard. Export to your LMS via xAPI.

What prior knowledge do students need?
Foundation-level understanding of botany. Suitable for undergraduate students and above.
How long is a typical session?
About 35 minutes for a full run including assessment. Students can pause and resume, and faculty can assign specific parts rather than the whole module.
Can this be used in a flipped classroom?
Yes. Students complete the VR module before the lecture, so class time focuses on analysis and discussion.
Is the assessment graded automatically?
Yes. Assessment scores appear on the faculty dashboard immediately. Faculty can adjust pass thresholds and export results to their LMS.
Which headsets is this module optimised for?
Meta Quest 2 / 3 / Pro, ClassVR, Pico, and any WebXR-compatible browser. It also runs in desktop browsers without a headset. We also support the Meta XR SDK, OpenXR, and any 6DOF headset.
