Description

Video playlist of recordings from UCC Library’s Enhancing Teaching and Learning Using Virtual and Immersive Technologies Seminar.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

This online seminar from UCC Library explored the ways in which VR has been used as an innovative instructional application and provided insights into the “when,” “why” and “how” of using VR to maximize learning impact and support student engagement and success. Presenters were from a range of backgrounds and spoke on their experiences in VR, whether that be sharing knowledge on embedding VR in a course or facilitating access through support services like libraries.

Learning outcomes for the seminar were to (1) consider the benefits and potential of VR in education in enhancing learning, teaching, and overall digital capability, (2) identify possible VR applications for their own teaching and learning, (3) understand the resources and requirements needed for using VR in educational contexts, (4) consider the enhancements to the interdisciplinary learning experience using virtual and immersive technologies.
