Virtual Reality at Transy

The DLA and BCTE have been integral in establishing VR as a powerful digital learning tool across disciplines. 

Our faculty development sessions teach faculty to use VR and create meaningful VR assignments. Our invited classroom sessions allow students direct opportunities to try VR. 

Our programming allows faculty and students to fully immerse themselves in virtual learning experiences and develop the skills associated with working in VR, which creates valuable vocational expertise.

We've shared what we've learned about teaching with VR through conferences and publications.
