Breakfast with Dr. Chris Dede: Virtual and Augmented Worlds
Website
Description
Join us for a special breakfast talk with guest speaker Chris Dede, Timothy E. Wirth Professor in Learning Technologies at Harvard University, to explore How Immersion in Virtual and Augmented Worlds Helps Students in the Real World. Many people of different ages now participate in immersive virtual and augmented environments, from World of Warcraft to Pokemon Go. Mobile VR is now affordable and practical, adding full sensory immersion to this menu of possible interfaces. Their entertainment value is clear, but what are the strengths and limits of these and other immersive media for learning and assessment? What are the opportunities and challenges involved in incorporating these into teaching?
