As a Foreign Language Curriculum Designer you will be creating lessons and assessments that are not your typical curriculum. DMMSI is designing outside the box of traditional education and is designing curriculum for a new educational industry. Content will be in a Virtual Reality Ready (WebVR) learning environment that will “wow” and engage students. Students begin to learn with a new method of storytelling while being in the middle of their own learning environment.
