The UBC Emerging Media Lab is a space for faculty and students to collaborate on educational tools that utilize emerging media, such as augmented, mixed, and virtual reality. These media can be used to develop alternate modes of delivery of course content and allow students greater autonomy over their learning experiences. In this unique workshop, Dr. Siobhán McPhee, Faculty in Residence at the Emerging Media Lab and instructor in the Department of Geography, will be sharing about her use of location-aware technology to help students engage with the historical landscape of Vancouver. She has used VR/AV technology to develop a 2-hour historical walking tour of Downtown Vancouver and has created a scavenger hunt experience to help students learn about the traditional Musqueam land that UBC occupies.
