The Bureau of Educational Research (BER) and IMMERSE Center for Immersive Computing invite you to a joint event on challenges and opportunities around designing and assessing immersive environments for education. Immersive environments include, but are not limited to, virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (collectively referred to as extended reality or XR).
This event aims to identify strategies that support XR-enhanced learning, especially as it relates to design and assessment, as well as explore new contexts for the application of these technologies. Attendees will have a chance to learn about existing projects on our campus and discuss potential for synergies and collaborations. The program includes lighting talks, a panel discussion with faculty collaborating around XR learning and assessment, and time for informal networking and ideation.
Interested researchers will have an opportunity to further discuss possible collaborations to advance educational initiatives around XR enhanced learning on April 29-20 at the IMMERSE annual symposium.
