Implementing the Metaverse and Virtual Reality at the School District level / The ISTEverse, a Portal Into the Future of Learning

Activity: Talk or presentation typesPublic Lecture/ Debate/Seminar

26/06/2023

I presented my application of Zoe Immersive Virtual Reality software at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Live 2023 Conference. As a member of the Zoe Immersive Creator Programme I demonstrated my intervention alongside colleagues from West Allis-West Milwaukee School District and Lycée Français De New York. After my colleagues from West Allis-West Milwaukee School District introduced their application of Zoe Immersive in a presentation entitled "Implementing the Metaverse and Virtual Reality at the School District level" the audience were invited to have hands on experience with our Virtual Reality teaching interventions in a session titled "The ISTEverse, a Portal Into the Future of Learning"

I created a Virtual Reality crime scene and generated a scenario around it in order to teach undergraduate criminology students about the collection of digital evidence. Users were able to explore an immersive 3D environment using a Meta Quest 2 headset. In these one-to-one sessions fellow educators from around the world were able to share the experience of my students, interact with objects, and discuss their relevance within digital investigations. This led to interesting one-to-one conversations about the technology, its deployment across educational sectors and locations, and pedagogical theory related to game based and scenario learning.
