2018 SUMMER INSTITUTE:
Viewpoints on a New Medium
EDUC 490V 96A | non-credit
Thank you for your interest in this program. The program is now full.
This five-day intensive workshop will take place in a lab, classroom and on a “stage”. In the lab, participants will play with and test a variety of emergent VR technologies including HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and 360° video cameras. In the classroom, guest lectures will help spark discussion around the pedagogical potential of VR in educational and other contexts. During the Institute, 360º video equipment will be provided, and students will become familiar with how each camera becomes a character in their virtual play. The Institute course welcomes undergraduate and non-credit students, as well as offering graduate students full credit in the Master of Educational Technology program through critical reflection on related academic material (e.g., the message) as well as participation in the new medium.
