The aha! moments that augmented reality (AR) and virtual Reality (VR) provide are just the tip of the learning iceberg, and have the potential to foster deep learning experiences for every learner. During this session, we'll explore how to use AR and VR to make an impact in every classroom.

Participants will understand the relevance of exploring AR and VR in education as it relates to the future of work and training.
Participants will have hands-on time with the latest AR and VR equipment ranging from readily accessible mobile devices to high-end VR devices from companies like Oculus and HTC.
Participants will be guided through the XR ABC Framework, a learning framework we have developed that illustrates the spectrum of learning experiences that users in AR and VR can have and how each aspect of the framework connects to teaching and learning.
Participants will understand and be able to leverage curricular and standards based connections with augmented and virtual realities.
Content and activities:
We will be running an AR/VR playground where users will get to experience AR and VR activities that can be run in any classroom. In addition to K-12 and higher ed content, we will dedicate time to experiences that foster empathy and social justice.
Attendees will be introduced to the XR ABC Framework, a learning framework we have developed that illustrates the spectrum of learning experiences that users in AR and VR can have and how each aspect of the framework connects to teaching and learning.
Time:
Intro to AR, VR, and the XR ABC Framework - 10 minute introduction to AR and VR technologies followed by an introduction to the XR ABC Framework (which we introduced in the book “Reality Bytes: Innovative Learning with Augmented and Virtual Reality” by DBC Inc.).
AR and VR Playground - four 10 minute hands on playground sessions where attendees will be able to rotate from station to station getting to experience AR and VR as students would in classroom settings. Each attendee will have the opportunity to rotate through the various experiences. At the end of each cycle, the experiences at each station will change and the rotation will start again. By the end of the playground, attendees will have had experiences in each aspect of the AR/VR framework for both AR and VR.
Reflect and debrief - 10 minutes of reflection on the various AR/VR experiences and the framework. Focus on how these technologies can improve teaching and learning.
Process:
Most of the session will be dedicated to providing attendees with hands-on experience through the playground. However, unlike most demos, the scenarios we present will allow them to function as learners in their classrooms to allow them to go through the student experience of integrating these technologies.
Note: Depending on the format that this session is ultimately selected for, we can adapt the structure of the session to fit the format. So if we were to switch to a panel, for example, it would be less hands-on and done more as part of a discussion. This can also be adapted to run as more of a presentation which would align with the existing slides we have shared.
