Asimil8, the e-learning venture is pleased to announce that it is changing its name to RendezVu.

There is currently no convenient way for most students learning languages to practise their language skills other than travelling to foreign destinations which can be expensive and impractical. To address this issue in the learning environment RendezVu has developed a next generation learning platform to provide immersive education for languages and other subjects using virtual world and gaming technologies.

Paul Groarke and Garrett Hussey, co-founders, RendezVu

RendezVu, headquartered in NovaUCD, was co-founded in 2008 by Paul Groarke and Garrett Hussey. RendezVu was the overall winner of the NovaUCD 2008 Campus Company Development Programme.
