It’s the final episode of the series and we are leaving 2024 via the Virtual door.
Simon talks with Simon Harrison, the Digital Learning Director of the Faculty of Engineering, about the Virtual Reality Lab at Nottingham, how it was a world first, how the technology works and how teaching a class of 40 students who are potentially looking at something different can be conquered.
Have you ever thought about using Roblox as a vehicle for teaching? Stefan van der Vyver from Learning Technology has been creating worlds in the Roblox multiverse for different audiences as part of his role as a Developer in Learning Technology. What could this type of platform do to help scale up teaching?
