SHINSHURI provides a unique learning experience to students, members, and customers (herein “Student Members”, “users”, “learners”, “faculty”, “mentors”) using its flexible learning technology called FLEXLEARN. This educational technology is delivered exclusively through a partnership with Oracles of Truth Academy and administered via the Shinshuri Sites. SHINSHURI owns all trademarks, education models, educational curricula, courseware products, videos, reference documentation, tool kits, learning platform, and business systems for full implementation of flexible learning solutions (collectively the “Intellectual Property”).

We desire to highlight a few important clauses specific to the FLEXLEARN technology. These clauses are an addendum to this full Terms of Service Policy and included herein for convenience.

Technology Overview

Flexible education, also known as flexible learning, is at the center of everything we do in the learning community. Flexible learning is about creating and delivering engaging and interactive digital media content by creating robust learning situations so that learners can gain new knowledge, skills, abilities, and experiences through exploration, collaboration, and reflection.

This idea is based on the premise that learners know best when, where, what, and how to acquire, assimilate, apply, and formulate new knowledge; and instructors are merely facilitators who construct and curate information and data to produce quality interactive and engaging learning experiences.

The FLEXLEARN model is a powerful tool developed to aid school administrators, faculty, students, partners, employers, and community professionals with managing and customizing the learning experience. Everyone has a vital role to play to ensure student success. We use the model to create symphonic learning experience from the keys or notes that forms a beautiful tapestry and melody outlined in a customize learning plan for each student.

SHINSHURI provides a unique learning experience to students, members, and customers (herein “Student Members”, “users”, “learners”, “faculty”, “mentors”) using its flexible learning technology called EXPERIENTIAL ECOLOGY. This educational technology is delivered exclusively through a partnership with Oracles of Truth Academy and administered via the Shinshuri Sites. SHINSHURI owns all trademarks, education models, educational curricula, courseware products, videos, reference documentation, tool kits, learning platform, and business systems for full implementation of EXPERIENTIAL ECOLOGY education programs (collectively the “Intellectual Property”).

We desire to highlight a few important clauses specific to the EXPERIENTIAL ECOLOGY technology. These clauses are an addendum to this full Terms of Service Policy and included herein for convenience.

Technology Overview

Living is a sequential series of experiences rapidly occurring with every breath you take. These experiences are a result of the actions you will or will not take in any given moment. What you do at any time throughout a given day is Experiential Ecology.

• Walking the dog
• Playing with friends
• Reading a book
• Studying
• Eating dinner
• Attending a sporting event
• Working
• Watching a movie
• Participating in something
• Interacting with someone
• Collaborating in a team setting
• Speaking to a single person
• Speaking to a small group or crowd
• Completing a project
• Creating an innovative product
• And more…

Experiences are intrinsic to living. The number of experiences you can have in any given moment, every day of living is Experiential Ecology. There are countless experiences to be acquired in your lifetime. Some you will remember and others you will not recall or subconsciously earmark as insignificant. Yet, every experience has an incremental effect on who you are becoming every moment of each day.

Every interaction, situation, or encounter is the stage (scene) in which your life experiences emerge, and you get to learn and know yourself. You are the author, creator, designer, producer, and engineer of your life. Intelligent beings possess will power and may use it to develop, grow, and evolve while co-creating new knowledge, skills, and capabilities through study, interaction, and living in our environment—planet Earth.

Development of human potential requires being able to measure human capability, performance, and the dynamics of human experiences through all social interaction, as we develop and mature into super conscious human beings. The science of life, experiences, interaction, collaboration, immersion, and data analytics is central to Experiential Ecology.

In a nutshell, your life is a journey. Being a Student Member is a journey too. On this journey you will co-create through immersive, flexible social interaction, and observation. You will have the opportunity to learn, develop, and grow through your interaction and participation in the educational experiences that have been designed specifically for you.

Learning Application and Use

All education programs developed and published on SHINSHURI Sites are Experiential Ecology programs. Our programs combine Flexible Learning technology and Whole Person Care Concierge Services to create a unique and enriching educational lifestyle enhancement experience for those individuals you enroll, participate, and use the Education Services we provide.
