XR FOR INNOVATIVE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING & CAREER GUIDANCE

Immersive technologies (VR/AR/MR) have recently had an explosive development, opening broad opportunities in the context of education and training. As learning environments, these technologies afford immersive, adaptive and explorative learning spaces, well suited for developing high-impact pedagogies. A successful adoption of these technologies for educational purposes requires not only affordable and high-quality hardware, but also solid pedagogical methodology and cross-disciplinary collaboration between different stakeholders, subject matter experts, educators, learners and developers.

This conference focuses on technologies, methodologies and pedagogies behind immersive learning and training in a wide range of contexts, especially professional training. This conference is therefore highly cross-disciplinary and invites members from both technology and humanities/social science backgrounds. They investigate how to design and develop successful VR/AR educational solutions, integrate these solutions into existing educational practices and evaluate the impact and learning effect.
