For years, students have sat through lectures, memorised textbooks, and waited days—sometimes weeks—for feedback on their work. But learning this way doesn’t always lead to true understanding. In fact, research shows that students retain only 20% of information from traditional lecture-style learning.
That’s not good enough.
Today’s students deserve more than passive learning. They need tools that engage, challenge, and support them in real time. That’s why Miva Open University built MIND—to transform learning into an interactive, personalised experience powered by AI.

The Clear Advantage of Interactive Learning with AI
When students interact with material—rather than just read or watch it—they remember more. Studies reveal that learners retain up to 75% of content when they actively engage with it. This is the foundation of interactive learning with AI, and it’s the core of what MIND offers.
With MIND, students don’t just receive information. They talk through it, explain their reasoning, and receive instant feedback on their understanding. The result? Students think more clearly, understand more deeply, and perform better academically.
What Is MIND, and Why Does It Work?
MIND (Miva Interactive Neural Dialogue) is an AI-powered study partner built for real learning. It simulates voice-based, two-way conversations with students, using real MBA-level case studies.
Whether you’re discussing pricing strategies in the airline industry or civic technology in government, MIND listens, challenges, and guides your thinking. It’s interactive learning with AI that builds the skills students need most:
- Critical thinking
- Clear communication
- Comprehension under pressure
Each session with MIND feels like talking to a smart tutor who helps you sharpen your ideas, not just score a grade.

Why Passive Learning Falls Short
Reading notes. Listening to or watching lectures. Submitting assignments. Then waiting.
This cycle has dominated education for decades, but that alone doesn’t support long-term learning or deep understanding. Students often feel like they’ve studied hard—only to realise during exams that they didn’t fully grasp the material.
MIND breaks this cycle. It offers interactive learning with AI that makes you explain what you’ve learnt in your own words and receive feedback immediately.
What Makes MIND So Effective?
Miva designed MIND after testing over 62 hours of student conversations using real-world case studies. Here’s what we discovered:
- Students tackling numerical cases used MIND repeatedly to test “what-if” scenarios, showing a 50%+ return rate.
- Most students preferred using MIND in the evenings for reflection and mornings for goal-oriented practice.
- Learners consistently reported greater clarity, confidence, and a better ability to defend their ideas.
These results confirm what we believed from the start: interactive learning with AI improves outcomes.
How MIND Builds Skills That Matter
Today’s graduates don’t just need grades. They need skills. They need to reason, explain, and respond under pressure; skills that matter in every workplace, not just the classroom.
MIND helps students practise these skills in a safe, supportive space. Make a mistake? Try again. Unsure of an answer? Get guided feedback. Each conversation with MIND builds real confidence and deeper understanding.
That’s the power of interactive learning with AI; personalised, pressure-tested, and designed for real-world success.
It’s Not Just Practice. It Counts.
At Miva, we didn’t build MIND just to be another app. It’s part of the academic system. Your work with MIND contributes directly to your CGPA. That means every interaction is purposeful and performance-driven.
Students take MIND seriously, and it shows in how they think, speak, and write.

A Smarter Way to Learn Starts Now
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by passive studying or slow feedback, you’re not alone. MIND was built for students like you, learners who want to understand deeply, not just pass exams.
With MIND, you’ll:
- Learn through real conversations
- Get instant feedback on your thinking
- Build real-world skills like reasoning and communication
- Study smarter with interactive learning powered by AI
The World of Active Learning
We believe that interactive learning with AI is not just the future. It’s what students need right now. MIND helps learners move from passive note-taking to active understanding. From memorising facts to defending ideas. From just “knowing” to thinking clearly and performing confidently.
