Extended Reality (XR) as a High Impact Practice (HIP)

虚拟和增强现实

扩展现实(XR)技术, 比如增强现实(AR), 虚拟现实(VR), 360度视频, offer us a novel way to engage with material. 例如, AR invites users to interact with spaces in a unique manner by overlaying digital content on the real world. Likewise, VR encourages users to immerse themselves in new environments 和 experiences. While XR technology may sound futuristic, many of us encounter XR in our daily lives 和 will likely do so more frequently in the coming years. By providing opportunities for active learning, 快速的反馈, 和 new means of processing information, XR has great potential for higher education (Educause, 2019).

但是,包括XR体验 独自一人 does not necessarily improve a learner's grasp of the content. When "closely paired with non-XR learning engagements" (Educause, 2019), XR has the potential to foster high impact learning experiences.

通过组合a的元素 强烈的体验式学习活动  核心组件 有效HIPs, an XR activity can be transformed from a novelty to an impactful learning exercise.

 

HIP-XR工作坊简介

The 学业成功倡议办公室 和 支持() in collaboration with The 教师发展中心 (CFD) offers this workshop as means of introducing faculty to the possibilities of XR use for learning.

在三个两小时的会议中, participants to examine the use of commercially available, low cost XR as a potential HIP that fosters experiential learning. Facilitators will provide critical frameworks regarding the use of XR in the classroom as well as for high impact assignment design. Throughout the workshop, participants will practice with XR, such as 360 video, AR, 和 VR.

The goal of the workshop is to help participants begin designing potential XR-enhanced learning activities. As such, the workshop concludes with time dedicated to assignment design 和 peer feedback.

HIP-XR程序

ASIS aims to foster a community of practitioners who approach XR as a HIP. The primary mission of the program is to collaborate with faculty interested in using XR as well as helping students reflect 和 capture their experience with XR experiences.

This program initially focuses on helping faculty identify viable XR opportunities, 审查它们的使用, 和 designing XR-enhanced learning activities with HIP components. 创建和支持这个社区, the HIP-XR program offers a scaffolded series of faculty engagement workshops, ranging from incorporating existing XR content to considering strategies for creating unique XR experiences. The HIP-XR program will also create support mechanisms for both faculty 和 students engaged in XR learning activities.

XR研究、奖学金和实例

研究 regarding the impact of XR use in higher education is rapidly evolving. As such, we will be updating this material over time. While the resources below are not exhaustive, they highlight trends in the field 和 offer examples of use across disciplines.
