It focuses on activating key elements that enhance the learning experience, encouraging deeper understanding, creativity, engagement and self-determination. The model typically integrates various educational theories and practices to foster an environment where learners are actively involved and motivated. Dimensions of Learning, Universal Design for Learning, Project-based Learning and Vivedus are all Learning Activation Models. But Vivedus is the only LAM designed to activate creative intelligence, not only with the provision of pedagogies, but also assessment tools that measure complex capabilities. Vivedus is also the only LAM built onto a digital, AI-enabled platform to make adoption by schools and educators seamless.

The Solution

The ViVEDUS Story

To solve the problem of schools killing creativity, a team of educators combined their 120+ years of experience and their respective academic research with theory from world-leading experts in creativity, possibility thinking and assessment practices, and a research partnership with the Graduate School of Education at The University of Melbourne, to create Vivedus.

Our Values

The team at ViVEDUS live and breath our values in everything we do - it's how we measure success.

We are all born as creative beings. Creativity is, therefore, an inherent and universal human quality, a quality that contributes to the advancement of society and to the development of knowledge. To be creative is essential to human fulfilment.

Vivedus nurtures what makes a person truly human by fostering their creative, innovative, and entrepreneurial capacities. Without creativity we cannot contribute to solving the world’s problems, improving other people’s lives, or finding meaningful employment in the era of Artificial Intelligence.

Without creativity we can never really flourish. To be creative is to add vibrancy to life. We were made to be creative.

But it isn’t a matter of dichotomy, either academia OR creativity. The two ought to go together hand-in-glove, empowering people to apply learning to generate new ideas.

Vivedus is agency driven by creativity.

Vivedus places learning in the hands of the student and the teacher as collaborative partners in education. Vivedus encourages teachers and students to make links between subject areas (interdisciplinary learning) so they apply their knowledge to generate new information and ideas.

Learner agency means engagement. When students are engaged, the joy of learning is made visible; education becomes ‘living’.

Vivedus is a platform for teachers to share ideas, grow professionally, and unleash the joy of teaching and learning. Vivedus collaboration means we can realise ideas and learning beyond the curriculum, beyond our own classrooms and beyond our own imagination, while simultaneously ensuring the demands of the curriculum are met.

Collaboration means relationships (within and beyond your school), and relationships which add colour to our life by providing connection, meaning and purpose.

Vivedus is about belonging to a movement. Together, as a community of practice, we can achieve Vivedus’s vision to transform education globally.

Vivedus’s team value and employ academic research and data to ensure that what we offer is reliable, robust, compliant and therefore, trustworthy.

Over 25 years of research and development on the part of Vivedus’s Lead Educator, Gabrielle Kempton, a combined 120 years of educational experience and three research degrees (Paul Browning (2) and Gabrielle Kempton (1)), along with research partnerships with The Queensland University of Technology, Griffith University and The University of Melbourne ensure that Vivedus’s approach to learning not only fosters creativity, improves student engagement and supports the professional growth of teachers, it also enhances academic results.

While Vivedus is not curriculum dependent (it works with any curriculum) it is fully compliant with all mandated Australian and State government requirements (ACARA and NCCD). The same will be said when Vivedus is launched globally.

Vivedus’s digital platform has undergone rigorous penetration testing ensuring that all data are secure. Our SaaS platform is built using a reliable and efficient tech stack, including Golang, HTMX, Planetscale for database management, and Clerk for authentication.

From the Managing Director

Since 2014, a group of educators have had a compelling vision. That vision is to see education transformed to enable young people to thrive in the AI era.

The vision is predicated on the certain knowledge that the world has entered a period of change like none previously seen in human history. We have entered an ‘age of acceleration’. The future of “work” is being transformed by advances in artificial intelligence and robotics. New jobs are emerging, but they will be filled by people with the ability to think creatively.

Dr Marie Perry

previous principal of MLC in Perth and IG & JGS in Ipswich

A big thing for me as an educator, is that I want students to think for themselves in a creative way and this model prompts them to do that. To be individual thinkers, push boundaries, and to take ownership over that different way of thinking.

Jess

Head of Department

I think the Vivedus program goes above and beyond

I think the Vivedus program goes above and beyond that rote learning and just teaching the content. It offers different embedded skills and ideas of how to teach the content to create a more engaging classroom.

Kate

Head of English

I'm excited about the endless possibilities as to what teachers and students can do with this.

Will

Head of Curriculum and Pedagogy

The thing that I really like about Vivedus is that it does the stuff that it says it does.

Teaching is not an easy gig, it’s a time consuming gig and people who want to do it really well are thinking about how they get their kids to the next thing. I think the opportunities for something like Vivedus is that it prompts really engaging ideas and thinking for teachers thinking about creating classrooms that inspire creative problem solvers.

Mahoney

Deputy Principal

It blows me away

It is just crazy! It’s like my own personal mentor, but what is super exciting is that it takes away the perceived judgement that a real person can bring to a mentor situation and meets you where you are at as a teacher. Not only that, but with a [human] mentor you are only going to be as good as your mentor. With Viv-it possibilities are endless. It blows me away.

Meg Foley

Founding Principal, Omni Academies of Learning

“I am enormously proud to be associated with Vivedus. I believe there is a global need for a definitive teaching framework that truly responds to the needs of 21st Century learners. When a child from an early age, can explain their preferred learning styles, articulate the strengths and gifts they bring to a learning experience and creatively use knowledge to be innovative problem solvers, they will evolve from their educational experience with the tools they need to succeed. In our fast-paced world, constant change is inevitable, requiring a new approach to the facilitation of learning, where children become agents of their own learning, to shape their own futures with an agility nurtured by the Vivedus approach. Children will feel a strong sense of belonging and love coming to school, because their learning will be relevant to the world they will grow up in today and live in tomorrow. I look forward to evolving Vivedus to be the preeminent global teaching tool.”

Grant O'Hara

Director

“Vivedus is an excellent teaching tool that not only enables young people to apply the content of the Australian Curriculum in contemporary society, but also to deliver learning that equips young people to be entrepreneurial in their thinking and apply knowledge to their everyday experiences as contributing members of 21st century society.” “I am also confident that schools, outside Australia, teaching a curriculum other than the Australian Curriculum would find Vivedus to be a thoroughly rewarding teaching tool for students and staff.”
