Explore the world of emerging technology trends with a focus on 360º video and virtual reality (VR). This presentation showcases an active learning tool designed to engage students, allowing them to practice problem-solving, critical thinking, and customer service skills.
Immersive experiences provide great platforms for learning but implementing them in courses can sometimes be difficult. Virtual Reality technologies can help alleviate some of those issues and provide students with the ability to travel around the world and interact with places and objects in ways we only dreamed of as students.
Using virtual reality (VR) in the classroom can be engaging and effective for student learning, and the preparation can be easier than expected! Join Stefani and Joie to learn about their experiences using VR in their classes and hear about the results they’ve seen with their students.
Join us to hear about virtual reality in a shared DLC course taught by Bill Cantor, Assistant Teaching Professor in Information Sciences and Technology. This spring Bill used Meta Quest 2 headsets with Horizon Workrooms to bring together students from York, Abington, and Harrisburg campuses.
