Innovation in Education Through Extended Reality

This seminar offers an introduction to the concept of Extended Reality (XR) and its potential applications in education. The full XR spectrum will be explored (from real environments enhanced with Augmented Reality, through Mixed Reality, to fully immersive Virtual Reality). A brief overview of recent research in the field will be provided, along with specific examples from projects developed by the CEVI research group, which investigate the effective integration of XR technologies into teaching and learning contexts, as well as their educational impact.

This event is online.
