Episode 90- Ways to Sustain VR in Your Institution

VR in Education - A podcast by Craig Frehlich

Hello everyone.  Welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education.  In today’s episode,  we explore a recent post I did on LinkedIn.  In the posting I talked about 4 ways to keep your VR lab or program from suffering a slow death.  Some of the strategies to sustain a VR lab and program might be:  1. Work closely with instructors and educators on how to integrate Virtual Worlds that connect to bigger concepts within their curriculum.  2. Refrain from “type-casting” the VR lab and headsets to just one department or section within your school.  3. Scale up professional development that teaches educators how to use and build no-code virtual worlds and experiences and how to connect these to learning outcomes. 4. Develop a “learning in 3D” academic policy that outlines the mission and vision around how , when and why VR can enhance learning.  In this episode, I want to unpack some of these in greater detail.
