According to the written statement made by Istanbul Technical University (ITU), cooperation will be made in the digitalization of education and R&D studies in the field of instructional technologies, using the technology and methods developed by Orka.
The collaboration, which will start with the virtual training ship “Metaships” and will be used first in the Maritime Faculty, will be expanded to other faculties of the university over time.
In addition to the virtual training ship, an augmented reality-based laboratory, interactive educational content embedded in the curriculum, and study trips for ITU students and staff are among the opportunities provided in this context.
Founded by Captain Levent Şen, a 2004 Deck graduate of ITU Maritime Faculty, Orka took its place in the world’s giants league in a short time.
