A user can often interact and control the experience by moving part or all of their body. VR can combine elements like voice and video capabilities, collaborative technologies, as well as group and private messaging, to allow students to engage with learning in more immersive ways.

Tony Crider, associate professor of physics, will review faculty and student projects at Elon that have incorporated Virtual Reality Design Education, from 2004 to the present day. He will cover the emergence of three consumer-grade VR platforms and share recent technological advances that have made VR hardware both affordable and high-quality.

You will have the opportunity to experience a variety of VR after the presentation, and leave the session with an understanding of VR, a personal experience, and ideas you can use in your courses. 

Register and reserve your lunch before April 26th.

Melissa Murfin, assistant professor of physician assistant studies and academic coordinator of the Physician Assistant Studies Program, will share her experiences with augmented reality in the classroom, and discuss the benefits and challenges she encountered while integrating it into the curriculum. You will see photos of how students used augmented reality in class and how the classroom was designed for learning. You will leave with augmented reality ideas and apps that can be used in their courses.

Register and reserve your lunch before April 14.

Hutchings will share his transition from a class that previously took place in a computer lab to a class where students brought their own technology. He will outline contingencies faculty should plan for in this environment and address how faculty can integrate Moodle.

Lanier will discuss how he has transitioned to a “paperless course” using Moodle. He will discuss using Moodle to administer exams and provide tips on becoming more efficient and sustainable (i.e. saving time on grading and quicker feedback to students).

Patrick Rudd, coordinator of library instruction and outreach services and assistant librarian, will also be present to discuss the transition Belk Library 113 has undergone during the past year, and future plans for additional modifications to the classroom. You will leave this session with ideas and suggestions you can use with students bringing their own technology into your courses. Register and reserve your lunch before April 14.

Presenters: Rachel Deblinger (UC Santa Cruz), Emily McGinn (Lafayette College), Charlotte Nunes (Southwestern University), and Alicia Peaker (Middlebury College).
