Find Your Place in the Emerging Immersive Education Universe

Scholarly education has long been cemented in the broad sharing of knowledge, coupled with hands-on application to master understanding. Educational experience has benefitted from the ever-increasing impact of innovative tools and technology. The increased adoption of immersive technologies –augmented, virtual, and extended realities –promote opportunities for further dynamic, engaged, and connected learning. Across the education paradigm, immersive experiences are enabling learners to apply knowledge like never before: taking a walk through the human heart to hear it beat and watch it function, engaging with real-life patient scenarios to navigate a chaotic emergency room, landing on alien planets to discover unimaginable surroundings, and collaborating with remote peers as if they were in the same room. In this session, a cross-section of experts across the scholarly education ecosystem will share first-hand insights regarding the advantages, development, and applications of AR-VR-XR technologies. The audience will also have the opportunity to engage in a live immersive experience. || Learning Level: Mixed Learning || Speakers: Diane M.
