Research and teaching innovations
The project aims to foster development of research and teaching staff at the institutions participating in the project as well as educational opportunities for artists and culture and media managers in the field of new immersive technologies, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, or mixed reality and the ways of using them in order to engage users. Students of the partner institutions will also be invited to participate in the project and take part in summer schools in Malta, Greece, and Poland.
As part o the project, the team is also planning to work out new curricula, syllabuses of courses devoted to immersive technologies as well as a textbook on experience management and immersive technologies. The goals of these activities include the development of innovative teaching methods. The results of the project can be also used by independent young artists, who, having access to the developed syllabuses and open educational resources will be able to individually pursue their passions and interests.
