A presentation from Connect More by Daniel Dyboski- Bryant, immersive project lead and lab developer - Exploring XR in further education and remote learning, Coleg Llandrillo, Grwp Llandrillo-Menai. Find out how funding to use virtual reality (VR) to engage marginal learners was put on hold due to COVID-19, but the approach pivoted to distribute the devices amongst staff. It started a regular, remote meeting inside virtual reality to explore and develop understanding and skills that might provide solutions for how to deal with remote learning requirements in the future.
