immersive technology

Immersive technologies are rapidly becoming part of our modern society. It has been making significant strides in higher education as well, shaping the way students learn and engage with educational content. ErasmusX, in collaboration with the Erasmus Centre for Data Analytics, opened the Immersive Tech Space and is working on ways in which these technologies can best be incorporated into the future of education.

Immerse yourself

VR and AR are making their way into health care, arts, architecture, entertainment, and many more industries. They are also being integrated into higher education to create engaging and interactive learning experiences.

ErasmusX believes that through Immersive Tech, we can foster enhanced learning experiences by creating new educational concepts. As part of this project, we utilise different types of technology, educational tools, and systems within the Immersive Tech Space, where essential 21st century skills are being trained.

GOALS

To create enhanced learning experiences through immersive technologies, which better prepares students for their role within society.

To bring immersive technology to the students so that their learning experiences can be improved.

Achievements

We worked together with stakeholders in and outside the university to open the Immersive Tech Space in November 2023.

We developed an educational program housed within the Immersive Tech Space.

Through research, we found that students wanted to use immersive tech to support their education. We used their input to design the educational content for our Immersive Tech Space. We are also creating workshops to teach educators  to use immersive tech in their courses.

We hosted a variety of events in the Immersive Tech Space, tailored for academic staff, professional staff, students, and external stakeholders.
