VWMOOC19 Integrating VR into a 100% Online Education Graduate Program

The Presentation online
Integrating VR into a 100% Online Education Graduate Program

I watched the recording today. The event took place on 12 September and the speaker was Dr. Eileen O'Connor working at the State University of New York - SUNY.

You can get access to the recording online https://youtu.be/nyosxwlgrCU

The speaker presented an online  Education  Graduate Program in  Emerging Technologies.

I had alredy learnt about some  educators experimenting online and I really  appreciated what she described and what  learners had done.

Learners can work in virtual worlds, work together and share  what they have been working on. She talked about  a VR residency and also about students creating their own islands.

The virtual word was in Kitely:  hop://grid.kitely.com:8002/Marian%20Island/126/111/22


When I listened to the presentation I thought that I would really like to work for my CP with other  teachers  and working in a similar virtual world.   However, I do not know if  in Italy we have such educators  experimenting at university.

An interesting  feature could be  also to work with secondary school students and working on projects .

I have already entered  the grid and honestly I can say that it is an interesting  new world for learning.

How did I feel when I saw what's going on in this  program?  I was surprised  and got interested. 

I thought that perhaps we could  try to work in a  learning  environment  which is not the traditional one. 


I do teach in a  secondary school, as a result  I teach younger learners.  Working with university students and older learners  must be less demanding.  

I do hope to learn more about  new learning  environments and  perhaps I  will try to work in some.

Meanwhile I will check  what  Kitely can offer in terms of  learning opportunities.
