Immersive Xperiences (IX) Series: Shifting Time, Space, Things & Learning
This 4-part HyFlex series shares information and hands-on activities.
We will consider how the affordances of simulations add value to today’s learning landscape. Through simulations, we can now shift time and space to create authentic learning experiences to engage and motivate learners. We can now be involved in simulated environments using new genres of technology, making choices and affecting outcomes. Exploration sessions will share how freely available tools can be used to simulate reality. Simulations are no longer restricted only to those who have access to expensive virtual labs
This series held on Thursdays through January at 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, shares examples of how higher education is making use of Immersive Xperiences (IX).
