Arility vs Delightex Edu (formerly CoSpaces Edu)

Arility is a free Android and iOS app providing augmented-reality safety education for children in classrooms, homes and experiential learning centres. Lessons combine 360-degree visuals, sound effects, AR characters and interactive scenarios where students make choices that affect outcomes. Teachers use a real-time dashboard to supervise individuals, pairs, groups or whole classes, including multiple classes simultaneously. Pre, post and extension questions assess learning, and emailed reports link student outcomes to curriculum outcomes and include answers. Activities address Australian and UK curriculum outcomes, with packs covering health, flood, driving, road safety, Constable Care safety school, driveway safety and small wheeled devices. The app works without internet after download, but sharing pictures and reports requires connectivity. Lessons require a printed Arility marker, downloadable in A4, A3, A2, A1 or A0 sizes. Compatible devices are Apple iPads, iPad minis and Android tablets; mobiles do not currently work. Arility says class photos are emailed to teachers and not stored on its servers, while other collected data is retained indefinitely.

Delightex Edu, formerly CoSpaces Edu, lets students build 3D creations, animate them with code, add AI, and explore in virtual and augmented reality. It is designed for schools: teachers can create assignments, manage classes, and monitor student work in real time. The free Basic plan supports up to 29 students, two projects, one class, one assignment, ten external files, and basic CoBlocks. Pro adds a 3D objects library, AI features, all CoBlocks or scripting languages, and a built-in physics engine. Teachers can try Pro features and the MERGE Cube add-on free for 14 days with 25 seats. Pro licenses last one year, and online purchases are capped at 400 total seats per plan. The service runs on web, iOS, and Android; its browser app works on desktop and laptop computers, including Chromebooks, without installation. Students can sign in with Clever, Apple, Google, Microsoft, or NAVER, and teachers can share projects to Microsoft Teams. Delightex states that Edu complies with GDPR, COPPA, FERPA, and Ed Law 2D. It also describes encryption, yearly security audits, and moderation of user-generated content.
