Creativity.edu: How Digital Media Fuels Learning

Description:

“Dear students, please switch on your smartphones and put on your VR headsets!” Does that sound surreal? If not, then you probably realise why digital media is a vital educational tool. One of the biggest challenges educators face today is how to engage students into learning processes. We will focus on the building blocks of innovation in education (words and pictures) sharing first-person experiences of how VR, AR & visual storytelling can inspire new generations to learn & research.
