eduXR Amsterdam: using eXtended Reality in higher education
Are you interested in using eXtended Reality (XR), such as Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality, in higher education? Thursday 6 February 2025, the Special Interest Group (SIG) eXtended Reality is organizing an inspirational afternoon for teachers, trainers, educational support staff and developers in HBO and WO. During this event, we will discuss where XR can be of value. Besides, we look at practical examples of implementation in education.
NOTE: Make sure to register on time! There are only limited spots available.
Thursday 6 February 2025 12:30 – 17:30
Location: Amsterdam UMC, locatie AMC
This event is a mix of theory and practice. During the plenary session, Tilo Hartmann (professor Virtual Reality and Communication) will give an overview of the theory behind the use of XR in education. He will discuss various learning theories. During the workshop rounds, you (as attendee) can engage with speakers who use XR in their education. These workshops have a practical angle, so this is the perfect moment to talk about one’s experiences. We end the day with drinks: a perfect moment to network and maybe even start a collaboration!
This event will be held in English. Entry is free.
