Immersive TEL in Higher Education

Thematic Workshop

Digitalization and digital competencies are going to play an increasingly important role in pedagogical practice. Immersive technologies, such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality, are becoming an important part of the technological toolkit of teachers and trainers. The interest in the teacher community for applying these technologies is very high. However, the teachers are lacking the necessary competences for using existing immersive-tech Open Educational Resources, adapting them to the curricula and designing own resources. Therefore, the main objective of this workshop is to brainstorm methods, procedures and recommendations for competence development of applying immersive technologies in higher education settings, such as classroom or lab.
