Immersive Learning: Mastering AR and VR Experiences

Description

Concept by Nicholas Moudouros

Advanced Computer Proficiency required. Read more »

Advanced computer proficiency courses are designed for individuals who have a solid foundation in computer skills. Participants will further enhance their knowledge and abilities by exploring advanced concepts and tools, such as programming languages or 3d printing.

In today’s ever-evolving landscape of educational technology, immersive experiences are revolutionizing learning methodologies, presenting an exciting frontier for educators and institutions.

Teachers and educators are now delving into the immense potential of immersive technologies, recognizing the prospect of education’s future resting in the convergence of reality and virtuality, and providing students with profound and captivating learning opportunities.

This course is ideal for educators and youth workers who are interested in using Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in teaching and learning.

During the course, participants will get hands-on experience in creating VR and AR applications, all through the dynamic Unity platform. They will learn how to make video games and see how game-like elements can make learning more fun and engaging for students.

By the end of the course, participants will have acquired the ability to develop video games using the Unity platform, explore the realms of VR, AR, and Extended Reality (XR), and test their creations using state-of-the-art equipment such as the Oculus Rift S.

Whether you are new to this field or have some experience, this course offers a mix of practical skills and fresh ideas for modern education.
