Learn how to start basic planning for a virtual immersive teaching and learning space.
There is plenty of information online regarding virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) within education, yet we rarely get insight into the learning spaces that make teaching with the technology possible. Join us online to hear from Dr. James Frazee, a technology trailblazer and Director of Instructional Technology Services at San Diego State University to learn how his team created their VITal teaching and learning space. You will leave with a better understanding of how you can bring a virtual and augmented reality learning space to fruition on your own campus.
Note: This program focuses on the physical space that makes teaching with (VR/AR) possible but will not focus on specific teaching methods used with the technology.
