Tech workshop: “XR in teaching and learning”
The purpose of the tech workshop is to provide technological inspiration and to broaden teachers´ understanding of applying Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to teaching and learning processes.
Prof. Gunver Majgaard, The University of Southern Denmark, will present a range of her students´ projects from their studies on XR and their applicability to teaching and learning, spring 2024.
The experiences and perspectives have been gathered, evaluated, and summarized within the framework of the Danish-German project MYRE DK-DE.
Research behind
XR for teaching and learning: Design reflection illustrated by student projects
The paper explores the use of virtual and augmented reality (XR) in education. It presents three key perspectives: the learning benefits of XR, practical challenges in implementation, and guidelines for playful learning design within XR. These perspectives are supported by examples from engineering students’ XR projects focusing on interactive training simulations. The authors emphasize experiential and playful learning approaches, grounded in social constructivist theory and aiming to optimize the learning process within XR environments. The paper offers practical design recommendations and highlights the potential of XR for creating engaging and effective learning experiences.
Participants
The workshop is intended for teachers involved in the MYRE DK-DE project and its stakeholders. Students are also welcome, with prior approval from the respective local project managers.
