The next CORE Breakfast is on 14 September. Exponential tech evangelist and realist Geoff Bentley will delve into the “why” and “how” of using Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) to engage and activate students of all ages.
This CORE breakfast seminar will outline:
- What VR/AR are, and why they are important for the future of education
- Improving learning outcomes via digital immersive learning
- Some useful applications and case studies
- The road ahead - future promises, barriers to entry, and when to jump in
The workshop will include facilitated discussions around the nitty gritty of using VR/AR within a classroom environment, getting hands-on with digital 3D content creation, and an opportunity for participants to try out a range of VR and AR devices.
