Immersive Learning
Immersive Learning
Immersive learning is an experiential teaching approach that engages students through the use of technology in realistic, hands-on simulations and virtual environments where they can practice clinical skills, critical thinking, and decision-making in a controlled, safe, interactive setting.
Vision Statment
Empower lifelong learners to embrace technology, think critically, and adapt to the evolving demands of a globalized, digital world through innovative immersive experiences.
Mission Statement
Revolutionize education through cutting-edge immersive technologies that mirror real-world
scenarios. We foster a culture of continuous learning and adaptability, emphasizing
interdisciplinary collaboration and advanced problem-solving skills. By integrating
emerging technologies and collaborating with community partners, we ensure our curriculum
aligns with current and future needs. We continuously assess and adapt our teaching
methodologies to embrace evolving learning styles and educational best practices.

Interdisciplinary projects |
|
| Ecology | “Exploring Naturescapes: Enhancing Ecological Education through Virtual Reality Immersive Video Technology”. Students will utilize video filmed from 360 cameras in different habitats that can include marsh, river, and restoration areas. These videos will capture diverse ecosystems that are currently unavailable through publicly accessible sites such as YouTube which have limited catalogs of 360 videography. |
| Education | “Creating Educational Sequences with AI and VR-Service Learning”. Students utilize the 360 camera to create a virtual field trip for educational purposes to benefit a community partner. |
| Education | 360 Video Filming for EDU 287 students with Dr. Colleen Wilson |
| Flight Physiology | Immersing aviation students in ShareCare You software and corresponding activities to learn about the anatomy and physiology of the human body. |
| Flight Physiology | Using Immersive Learning for Flight Physiology Students with Dr. Angela Masson |
| Mathematics | Utilizing Math 320 linear for algebra students via Immersive Learning. |
| Exercise Science | 360 Video Recording for Emergency Action Planning Scenarios with exercise science students from BRCHS |
