With the NFL season just around the corner, The Fantasy Football Training Camp hosted their annual Fantasy Football Bootcamp inside SpatialChat.

The event brought together fantasy football analysts, hundreds of fans, and two special guests: retired NFL Pro-Bowler Daunte Culpepper and current Washington Commander Austin Ekeler. Instead of being a one-way webinar, the bootcamp took place in an interactive virtual environment. Attendees could “walk” between draft strategy rooms, join analyst Q&As, and network with other fans—just like being at a live convention.

SpatialChat’s spatial audio and customizable spaces made the experience feel natural and engaging, capturing the energy of an in-person football kickoff but online.

I think micro-learning on a consistent basis helps with retention, maybe one small thing a day consistently

Is Spaced Repetition related to "learning one new thing every day" though?

I'd have thought repetition was more about retention than the described "learn one new thing every day".

I'm also curious what new means here. Is attempting to research and retain (eg SR) some small fact the goal? Or would it be learning novel modals, such as new skills or new ways of thinking - which i imagine would be quite difficult in a day of course, just thinking out loud.

They've confused learning new material with reviewing learned material

Fwiw i don't necessarily think SR is not learning new material. It was a question from me, not a counter.

For SR to apply i imagine it depends on the underlying set of SR cards/etc. If you're just topping off on well known material then SR can't do much - but if it's well known material, there's often not even a review stage to have - all the material won't be flagged for review.

However if you have several items that you're reviewing then the SR algo has determined you don't know it (or perhaps they're new, but that's a bit besides the point).

Spaced repetition and the research behind it is about recall, not encountering new material. That's what is being repeated - actively recalling the same material over time. The spacing is determined by the forgetting curve - loss of learned information

Consistently reducing the slope of the forgetting curve for recently acquired knowledge/skill assists in understanding and consolidation of new related materials/methods through second-order effects.

We’re currently testing a native integration between SpatialChat and Canvas LMS, designed to support more engaging, real-time learning experiences directly inside the online classroom.

For those new to it: SpatialChat is a virtual space where people can walk around and talk to others nearby—like being in a real classroom, hallway, or group study room. Instructors can create breakout areas, pin media, and host open discussions in a much more dynamic way than a traditional video grid.

Why We’re Building This Many schools are adopting HyFlex learning, where students attend both in-person and remotely. But most video tools still feel disconnected from the actual learning platform. Zoom links and pop-ups add friction, and remote students often feel left out.

By integrating Canvas directly into SpatialChat, we’re making it easier for instructors and students to interact without leaving their course page—no new tabs or logins required.

What It Does Each Canvas course gets its own virtual room, saved and ready for future sessions.

Students and teachers can move around and talk freely in different areas—great for group work, Q&A zones, or open office hours.

Participation data (like who joined and how long they stayed) can be shared with instructors to help track engagement.

It all works within the Canvas interface, so everything feels like one connected experience.

We’re currently in pre-production testing with a few universities.
