Monash Warwick Alliance Education Fund - April 2018

The future of Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) applications are gaining ground as potentially game-changing technologies within industry, the workplace, to consumers, and also have the potential to engage students in innovative approaches to learning and teaching that have not been previously considered. In an educational setting, AR/VR technology opens new avenues for students to engage in a variety of simulation and collaboration opportunities within an immersive environment, thereby enhancing the learning experience for students using a mix of authentic and experiential processes.
