[Three Rivers TESOL] Virtual Reality Workshop at CMU

[Megan Reiley]

Those of you who were fortunate enough to hear Stephan Caspar speak at the
3RT Spring Seminar may recall that in his work directing the Kenner Room at
Carnegie Mellon University, he explores the utilization of technology as a
gateway to language learning, cultural competency, and globalization.
Caspar will host a workshop to allow ESL instructors discover one
technological medium, virtual reality (VR), and its applications in
classroom.  Specifically, instructors will be able to ‘discover VR’ by
trying headsets and learning about different content formats.  Workshop
activities will include appropriate student learning outcome (SLO)
generation, materials selection, and other developing lesson plan
activities.  Using VR in contexts with limited access to equipment and
funds will be addressed.



The session will be held from* 9:30-11:30AM on Saturday, 7 September in
CMU’s Kenner Room* in the Tepper Quad.  Prior VR experience is not
needed.  *There
is no fee for the event, but registration is required as space is limited
and a maximum of 15 participants will be accepted in order to allow every
participant access to equipment.*  Register for the workshop at:
