Immersive tech isn't just cool. It's useful. And more importantly, it fits right into the blended learning you're already building. In this IDIODC session, Destery Hildenbrand, a Learning Technology Consultant and Immersive Technology Evangelist, will walk you through integrating mixed reality, such as AR and MR, into your learning experiences.
We'll explore where immersive learning fits into the learning flow, how to get started even if you're not a developer, and how to make it stick with your audience. You'll leave with practical ideas, tool suggestions, and a solid starting point to take your blended learning to the next level using immersive technology.
