Becoming immersed: Using Virtual Reality technologies in academic libraries to expand outreach and enhance course curricula
Abstract In the fall of 2018, the Binghamton University Libraries purchased Virtual Reality (VR) headsets and accessories to provide an innovative service on campus and extend its outreach. The availability of the technology through the Libraries’ allowed a nursing course to incorporate it into their teaching. The Libraries also hosted monthly VR outreach events and included the technology in a Digital Humanities Research Institute (a four-day intensive workshop). This article explains these uses, describes VR’s ability to be adopted into various learning spaces, and discusses the future integration of VR into course curricula. Limitations encountered and potential challenges are also discussed.
期刊介绍:
College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
