Richmond, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/22/2015 -- DimensionU, Inc. announced today the release of an innovative new app for educators called "Teachers by DimensionU." The application is now available for free on the web or iOS (iPhone & iPad), for any educator who uses DimensionU in the classroom. The application will also be available on Android devices soon.

With this new free app, teachers can create password-protected game rooms that specify the DimensionU game to play, the game duration, maximum game participants, as well as when the game will auto-start. Teachers can create as many game rooms as necessary for their students, all from within the app, and then keep track of which students are playing in those game rooms. Essentially, it provides teachers with more control over the student experience in the DimensionU Web and iOS games.

"We are extremely pleased with this new app for our DimensionU educators. Its development was based solely on input from teachers and we already have our plans to expand the app's capabilities, to make it even more effective for our classroom educators when they return for the 2015-16 school year," said DimensionU CEO Steven Hoy. "This app is truly unique in the game-based learning space, and is another way that DimensionU keeps innovating to improve the educator and student experience!" added Hoy.

A DimensionU educator account is required to use the application with students. The new app can be accessed by signing in at www.DimensionU.com or in the Apple App Store.
