Description: What happens when classrooms move beyond slides and lectures into fully immersive worlds? This interactive workshop introduces the spectrum of extended reality (XR) technologies—virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR)—and explores how they can be infused into higher education. Participants will see examples of how VR is being used in teaching, learning, and research across disciplines, from simulating complex environments to bringing abstract concepts to life. The session will also showcase simple, accessible tools that faculty can use to design their own virtual experiences—or empower students to create immersive projects themselves. Whether you’re curious about VR’s potential or ready to experiment with it in your own work, this session offers a hands-on introduction to the possibilities of reality, reloaded.
