UC launches Immersive Learning and Emerging Technologies Working Group
In a continued effort to enhance academic innovation and digital transformation, the University of Cincinnati has launched a new Immersive Learning and Emerging Technologies (IL&ET) Working Group.
This cross-functional team will explore how advanced technologies, such as Extended Reality (XR), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Holography, can strengthen educational outcomes, expand research capabilities, and improve operational efficiency across the university.
The group will also focus on ensuring that all implementations are accessible for the entire UC community.
Understanding the current landscape
To better assess how immersive and emerging technologies are currently being used across UC’s campuses, the IL&ET Working Group is inviting faculty, staff, and students to share their experiences, use cases, and initiatives.
Whether you’ve integrated VR into your teaching, experimented with AR in a lab, or are researching the future of digital environments, your input is essential. This information will help the working group map UC’s current activities, identify opportunities, and develop informed recommendations for the future of immersive learning and research at UC.
