Student engagement through innovative technologies: VR/AR/XR past, present and future possibilities at SCU

Across multiple technologies there are key considerations and barriers to entry - cost/accessibility, ease of content creation, immersion, and interactivity. There is also the danger of orphaned technologies: the VR/AR market is still evolving, and commitment to technologies subject to obsolescence is a common pitfall. However, VR/AR/XR has been acknowledged as an emerging technology that presents a significant opportunity to enhance student engagement. The working party has identified what some of the possibilities and barriers are in the SCU context. This presentation will discuss these and invite feedback from the audience to further develop the SCU scholarship on this topic.
