Breaking News! 📣

We are honored and thrilled to announce that we are the Bronze Winner for the Immersive Experiential Learning category by QS Reimagine Education Awards – the ‘Oscars’ of Education which recognises innovative approaches to enhancing student learning outcomes and employability.

Together with Gretchen Coffman, Senior Lecturer at NUS Department of Geography, we demonstrated how immersive experience transforms classroom learning by unlocking the potential of 360° field trip videos facilitated by the 360imx – a 6-metre-wide cylindrical installation fitted with 360° panoramic projection. The visual experiences in 360imx are captivating and more engaging than traditional video, sparking students’ interest in learning and encouraging active classroom participation.

Keen to explore the use of 360imx? Check out https://nus.edu.sg/nuslibraries/spaces/tech-central/360imx/.
