Teaching with Immersive Technologies | Teaching Channel

Virtual and augmented reality (AR/VR) are no longer relegated to the gaming and science fiction worlds! These immersive technologies, which create life-like experiences by merging both the physical and digital worlds, are surprisingly easy to use. Dinosaurs in the classroom? A trip to the pyramids of Egypt? No problem! In this course, you’ll learn about the unique characteristics of AR and VR, and tinker with specific apps and websites like Google Earth and CoSpaces Edu. You’ll explore practical applications of immersive technologies, from virtual field trips to interactive simulations, to create lessons that captivate and inspire students. This resource-filled course will help you design innovative learning experiences that not only engage your students but also enhance and extend learning beyond the four walls of the classroom. This course is ideal for intermediate-level tech users who are comfortable navigating web and mobile apps, and who are open to learning to create in 3D. Harness the power of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) to enhance classroom learning, and promote engaging, dynamic student experiences.
