Is the AR/VR Utopian Promise Attainable? - eLearning Vancouver

You've probably heard of the utopian promise of AR/VR for education. How, with the help of these technologies - and the interactivity and game-ification that they enable - we could dramatically improve student engagement and attain better educational outcomes. How much should we believe in this promise? The simple application of new consumer technology to education will only take us so far. To answer this question, and to truly see how far we can go, we have to take a broader look at the material conditions of learner's engagement with these technologies, and how they fit in with their motivations. Come hear Mario and Ray's perspective on this for some thought provoking views on what is, and what could be.
