Immersive Learning: Challenges and Opportunities of 360-degree Video for Educational Media

Event Date & Time

Event Description

Use of immersive media in medical education has been the focus of a recent collaboration between UBC’s Faculty of Medicine and UBC Studios. Through this collaboration, a series of 360-degree educational videos have been produced that are designed to provide health care students with immersive and emotionally engaging simulated experiences in challenging clinical scenarios.

– learning objectives and context of the project, from the faculty instructor’s perspective
– the process of choosing media technology and format to best suit the learning objectives of an educational media project
– production and post-production process of 360-degree video for educational media with a focus on pedagogical goals and outcomes
– lessons learned, methods and techniques developed during the project, and the pros and cons of 360-degree video as a format for educational media
