Assignment 2-1: What is Immersive Education?

The video starts off by briefly explaining the overview and mission of Immersive Education. Immersive Education is mostly used by groups of people who need an easy access to talk and communicate each other. It makes learning environments in virtual world so much better for thousands of faculties, students, researchers users. 

This part of video showed many students who cannot offer to visit aquarium or other important places that cost a lot. These students by using virtual world, can easily experience virtual world of those places on line without having to pay. Even though the virtual world is fiction, it is great alternatives for those who have hard time offering those opportunities.

This part of video talks about Immersive Education Certification. Professor Walsh commented on this part of video that harder level would require elements from lower level, the fundamentals. It would be great to have such certification of this advanced technology. 

This part of video is toward its end where Professor Walsh is taking an Question and Answer session. People ask various kinds of questions and the most interesting one was whether the Immersive Education could be more similar to real life class experience. As time passes and technology advances, better connectivity with better platforms would make Immersive Education more convenient and similar to real life.


This is an assignment from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. This course is called Collaborative Computing. For details, visit the Immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
