Save-the date!!! March 8th 2024. Cloudclass conference: Innovative teaching with virtual studio technology

We would like to invite you, education professionals, educational developers, technical experts, and students (!!!) to our journey in which we aim to create innovative motivational learning experiences using VR and AR technologies, providing a high-quality experience of presence and immersion that delivers more engaging and successful learning outcomes. Learn for yourself from all the experiences gained in our Cloudclass project: what do teachers need to apply such innovative technology in their classes, how do students experience it, what is its effectiveness, what educational models can be used for this purpose and how does the implementation of such innovations take place in practice?  

The use of innovative technology in education can offer teachers and learners a revolutionary new approach to create highly immersive 3D virtual learning experiences that enhance, extend, and refine the online learning experience to increase levels of immersion, engagement, and motivation. Existing approaches to online learning rely on systems and interfaces that limit student immersion and engagement at a distance. The fundamental difference between the “live” classroom and a distributed learning environment is one of “presence”. The “live” environment allows students to be physically and emotionally present and to interact directly with the learning content and provides opportunities for collaboration and feedback. The “remote” environment, on the other hand, largely fails to deliver a truly immersive and motivating learning experience. 

Thus, save the date: March 8th 2024 in OU study centre in Heerlen! More information will follow soon, but in the meantime book your spot via: https://fd7.formdesk.com/openuniversiteit/cloudclass_conference
