Enabling your learners to adopt new technologies is never easy. But when learners understand the value and potential of new tools, their guard comes down. As we reach new lows with learner engagement, it is imperative that we make immediate and meaningful changes to our engagement strategies while keeping our organizations competitive by embracing emerging tech.

During this talk, Dr. Christine Janssen, founder and CEO of Edstutia, will introduce you to virtual reality (VR) tools and activities that can significantly increase learner engagement. She will share examples specifically from the learner’s perspective to showcase why immersive learning is so captivating. Come learn about three ways you can quickly start moving those engagement numbers upward by incorporating immersive technologies into your learning strategy.

The goal of this session is for you to walk away with:
