Enabling The Age Of Immersive Education - Media Grid
Enabling The Age of Immersive Educationpresented byAaron E. WalshGrid Institute Boston bc.eduStarting in 2004 students in the Woods College of Advancing Studies at Boston Collegehave had the opportunity to participate in the development of a new form of distancelearning that combines interactive Virtual Reality (VR) with collaborative online courseenvironments and classrooms. Using commercial graphics applications and state-of-theart 3D simulation and game technology, our students are among the first in the world toexperience distance learning technology that enables "Immersive Education."Constructing Immersive Education course content is inherently interdisciplinary andcomplex, yet it is possible today thanks to new and innovative technologies that untilnow were not readily available to the general public. Because of the range of skillsrequired to develop Immersive Education courses they are built by teams of people thatconsist of designers, artists, modelers, animators, and software developers who togethertransform traditional course material into rich, interactive digital media experiences thatcan be deployed over broadband Internet connections or using delivery mechanisms suchas CD-ROM and DVD. Such content may be coupled with Internet video conferencing andcomputerized remote control capabilities to achieve the highest degree of faculty-studentinteraction.By teaching Boston College students these skills, and applying them to real-world coursecontent, the Woods College of Advancing Studies is enabling a new era in distancelearning that promises to engage and instruct at a level far beyond that of the typicalonline course. Immersive Education gives students a sense of "being there" even whenattending class in person isn't possible, practical, or desirable, which in turn providesfaculty and remote students with the ability to connect and communicate in a way thatgreatly enhances the distance learning experience.
