XLab is an experiential project-based course that relies on agile development methodologies to enable learning and the application of knowledge. Students from a variety of programs apply their specific areas of interest, knowledge and experience to the creation of a significant virtual reality industry-strength product.
| Audience: | Teachers, Teacher education/higher ed faculty, Technology coordinators/facilitators |
| Skill level: | Beginner |
| Attendee devices: | Devices not needed |
| Topic: | Augmented, mixed & virtual reality |
| Grade level: | Community college/university |
| Subject area: | Computer science, STEM/STEAM |
| ISTE Standards: | For Students: Empowered Learner
|
In Xlab, faculty members serve as subject area experts who will provide materials and support to students to facilitate just-in-time learning that is applicable to the task(s) at hand during each sprint within the project. Students select the theme of the project and its application and work throughout the semester to complete a prototype. Examples include a VR simulation of the effects of extreme weather conditions, specifically the effect of storm surges on the Philadelphia metro area, and a VR time-travel narrative allowing the player to enter events in and around World War II. The class is unique in that it utilizes the Agile/ Scrum methodology used in design and computer science and gives students true ownership and agency over their learning within the course. For this poster session, we will describe these prototype and the educational model presented in this course structure. Viewers will also be able to enter the VR environments created by the XLab students. (we will bring the necessary technology)
