W1 - Introducing immersive technologies into education: a change management perspective

A case study of how immersive technologies have been introduced into higher education institutions. We will look at the process of developing a vision and strategy for the organisation, gathering support from leadership, creating an ecosystem of suppliers and partners and working effectively with stakeholders.

We will discuss the creation of a culture of continuous experimentation as well as how to build a community of XR trainers and training resources that plug into an immersive learning network. We will also cover strategic communication, obtaining funding and dealing with resistance.

The session will also cover hardware and software options, content creation and provide participants with experiences of immersive technology prototypes in education.
