Virtual Reality Online Orientation (VRO2) – Fall 2019
Virtual Reality Online Orientation (VRO2), a recent VR learning environment developed by the Mizzou TELL research group, aiming to offer an online orientation for newly-admitted students to get acquainted with the school and the program. Also, to study how VR may facilitate learning and training.
In this VRO2, students utilize a viewer to take part in five guided activities. All the activities take place in two virtual buildings that resemble the real building where the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies (SISLT) located: Townsend Hall and London Hall.
Overall, students are able to explore the virtual SISLT buildings, interact with current SISLT faculty and students, and familiar with the documents regarding available resources to new students. Below are some screenshots of the activities:
