Lectures Supplement Real Work

There are few lectures during class. Lectures are pre-recorded and required as homework. The lectures are used to fuel discussion and hands-on activities for ongoing projects.

Transdisciplinary

Immersive is transdisciplinary. People from all sorts of backgrounds are needed to create an effective experience. Expect to collaborate with people outside of your major.

Active Learning

Activities emphasize collaborative and cooperative learning. A frame of reference for this type of learning is easily recalled with the acronym PIES: Positive interdependence, Individual accountability, Equal participation, and Simultaneous interaction (Kagan, 2003).

A Helping Hand

The professor's objective is to get students going on projects and to be available as an on-hand resource. Expect a plethora of guest speakers who are leaders in the immersive space to come and speak with you.

Reap What You Sow

The responsibility for learning is placed on you, the student. Majority of the work is donein teams where you'll try on different roles and your peers rely on you. Be present and show initiative.

Building Blocks

Each course and class activities build on each other to provide a dynamic and integrated learning environment that emphasize personal intellectual development and content learning.
