Reimagining Learning Environments for Immersive Experiences

Emerging technologies like virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR) can provide extraordinary real-life learning opportunities, placing people into unique situations which they would otherwise be unable to access.

In this webinar, experts from Radical Realities and EURASHE member Steelcase Learning Group will present the latest findings from the research on using VR and AR in higher education, including best practices in designing and implementing an Immersive Learning environment on campus.

Imagine plying the ocean depths first-hand to explore exotic underwater worlds, manning the controls as you rocket off to distant planets, walking alongside and talking with historical figures, or taking the crucial measures that save the world from a nuclear meltdown – and doing it all from the safety and security of a familiar classroom.

Those extraordinary experiences are now real-life learning opportunities made possible by emerging technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). These programs are able to place people into three-dimensional, computer-simulated environments – unique situations where it would normally be impossible – or too dangerous – for humans to go.

Experts at EURASHE member Steelcase Learning Group have been studying virtual reality applications in education for years, and they understand the unique, hands-on possibilities they offer. During this one-hour session participants will have the opportunity to hear from the WorkSpace Futures Director Andrew Kim, and Learning Consultant Georgeta Macovei, the findings of the research done around Immersive Learning spaces, benefits of using VR, AR and MR technologies in higher education curricula and best practices in designing and implementing an Immersive Learning environment on campus. Additionally, Immersive Experience Architect Kuba Jekiel (Radical Realities) will explain what it means to build an immersive space that is 100% virtual.
