Abstract

This Practitioner Stream oral presentation chronicles the effort to develop a 100% online immersive technology course within a college of education at a Carnegie R1 Doctoral University in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Immersive technologies hold great promise as technological tools to improve teaching and learning in higher education. In industrial applications, immersive technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) already serve critical training needs in diverse fields such as commercial aviation, the military, and healthcare. While these industries, many well-financed, are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in training and development, the teaching and learning space could benefit from new or enhanced instructional approaches and opportunities in the field of higher education, which was significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
