Faculty Spotlight Series

Immersive Technologies

Immersive experiences, or XR, which is the overarching term that encompasses all real and virtual combined environments such as 360 videos, augmented reality, and virtual reality, can be used to allow your students to have experiences that they would not otherwise. Using XR can evoke empathy in your learners and give them the opportunity to encounter a challenging scenario in a manner that minimizes consequences.

In this Spotlight session, Amy Kuntz, instructional designer for Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT), Nick Smerker, multimedia specialist for TLT, and Donna Bayer, instructional designer at the Center for Teaching Excellence discuss the overall benefit found via research around XR and learning, exploring use cases that highlight the benefits of XR.
