Join us for an interesting session where theory meets practice in the world of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality under the umbrella term of Extended Reality (XR) learning experiences. We’ll kick off by exploring key concepts behind Extended Reality encompassing Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) and how they align with the concept of Action-First Learning.

Join Dr. Karl Kapp and Elissa Hoehn, Vice President of Learning Strategies at TPM, as they discuss how XR is driving action-first learning experiences.

Witness examples of two XR experiences:

• TPM’s XR Escape Room – a high-impact learning experience designed to drive critical thinking and collaboration.
• TPM’s XR Anatomy Simulator – a hands-on AR tool that immerses learners in an interactive exploration of human anatomy.

Discover how these technologies are impacting the future of learning.
