360 Virtual Visit Tutorial with Mary Moloney – this tutorial has been made to assist others in making a virtual visit.
Virtual Visit to Munster Technological University (MTU) – Join us on a visit to some of our campuses of MTU. Here we visit the Bishopstown campus, The National Maritime College (NMCI) and the Kerry North Campus.
The work presented in this practice paper illustrates how the use of immersive 360o
video and photographs, viewed in virtual reality headsets or via 360o media players,
can enhance and broaden student knowledge and experience when undertaking
Project Based Learning (PBL) assignments.
This resource showcases initiatives from both academic and professional support areas across DCU, which have been funded under SATLE – the Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement Funding in Higher Education. Examples are provided under the themes of Education for Sustainable Development, Digital transformation & Academic Integrity

We were both impressed and worried to witness the rapid escalation in the ability of tools like ChatGPT to conjure credible-seeming scholarly prose ex-nihilo. Rather than leaving the assessment strategy in MEEN3010 exposed to AI plagiarism, we decided to shift the focus towards a more authentic and interactive learning activity; a poster session.
During the Spring trimester of 2024, in the UCD ‘Robotics Design Project’ (EEEN10020) module with 54 first-year undergraduate engineering students, we deliberately revised the assessment strategy. We evolved a take-home assignment into a pair of supervised in-class exercises.
