Current PerspectiveJ said the MARVIN development team’s philosophy was simple.
“Literacy and language challenges will always be a part of the learning process, but it’s your choice as a trainer as to whether you allow them to be barriers or instead choose to perceive them as tremendous and exciting challenges and assets, which is how MARVIN evolved,” he said.
“We wanted to transform learners into trainers by having our students actually create the resources that they would be learning with. MARVIN is all about bringing animation to education and learning to life. For us in health education and promotion, our role as trainers is to provide information to help minimise harm and save lives – literacy is not our end goal – information sharing is,” he said.
