SXSW EDU 2019

Making Virtual Reality for Tomorrow’s Classrooms

Description:

How can we as educators use VR to foster interdisciplinary learning and new media literacies? As creators how can we ensure our content is relevant to a wide range of educational disciplines? This workshop is targeted to both content creators and educators. We will cover the production of VR projects across journalism, dance, theatre and ecology and offer practical advice on setting up a basic studio, scripting, sound design, and using VR as a teaching and research method.
