The Centre for Excellence in Learning (CEL) played an active role during yesterday’s Service Excellence Conference 2016 by hosting a fun session with technology in PG30a. During the afternoon session facilitated by Debbie Holley and other technology experts, several participants had a thrilling experience with Oculus Rift, Virtual Reality Glasses, Google Cardboard, Augmented Reality and Virtual Roller-coasting.
Feedbacks from the session were very encouraging and some of them highlighted how some of the technologies could be used to improve some services in BU:
“Useful for Campus & Accommodation tours – project for those who can’t travel or are nervous about communal activity or engaging with HE”
“Can post these out with welcome packs to enhance campus tours and pre arrival information”
“This is the type of thing we need – more often students will love it”
“Virtual reality – great for collaborative projects and education”
“Playing with virtual reality glasses is so fun! Would love to learn more”
“I just love what CEL is doing – it isn’t just for academic activities. All of BU would benefit from your talents”
“Oculus rift – wow!!
“A brilliant way to experience open days for those who can’t come, especially our international students”
“So clever“
“Fun Rollercoaster Ride. Could be a great idea for accommodation promos”
“Amazing!! What a fab idea”
“Virtual reality was amazing”
“Loved going on the roller coaster – backwards as well!”
“Brilliant and innovative way to explore technology in HE”
“Very innovative, plan to use in the future”
“Could be a great use for videos of accommodation for future students, especially international students – they can virtually walk through the halls of residence”
“Amazing experience! Must try!”
