This course is designed to sensitise for and introduce immersive learning in a practice-oriented way. It introduces the spectrum of Mixed Reality (XR) with its technologies Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), 360-degree video and 3D. The course enables participants to get to know the different learning technologies and to get hands on experiences. The training shows where and how learning processes can be improved in a meaningful way with XR.

On completion of the training, participants

• know basics about the 21st Century technologies – XR (VR, 360, 3D, AR)
