Using 360º Spherical Video as a Teaching Tool

Description:

Educators, researchers and design teams continue to look for innovative solutions to better support lab-based and field-based instruction in online learning environments. The emergence of interactive 360º video capture and virtual reality technologies (i.e. Google cardboard) have provided new approaches for delivering instruction. Students can observe (visually and aurally) an environment while retaining the ability to look around in any direction on a variety of devices.This session provides a demonstration of a virtual reality field-based simulation. We will share our lessons learned on these projects and involve participants in the ongoing conversation of virtual reality in education.
