Centre for Fusion Learning Innovation and Excellence | Still time to sign up to attend the UCISA Immersive Environments Conference in Birmingham (5th December)

Immersive experiences can transport learners to different environments and augment learning within their current surroundings.

The cost to create and interact with these experiences previously meant that these methods of learning and teaching had been limited to those with ample resources. Technologies such as the Internet of Things, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality are enabling the creation of highly engaging experiences that offer learning opportunities that were previously not possible.

This event will showcase examples of practice taking place across different institutions, outlining the value that they are offering to learning and teaching. Here is the programme:
