[LTER-education] FW: workshop - Virtual reality techniques for field station and marine laboratory programs

[O'Connell, Kari Elizabeth Bisbee]

Hi LTER peeps,
I wanted to let you know about this opportunity – deadline for registration is today.
Best,
Kari
See below, info about a workshop for exploring how to use virtual reality for teaching at field stations and marine laboratories, and other natural areas. Register early (the event is capped at 30 people) so you'll have time to order your $10 VR goggles for a 3D experience.

This workshop is brought to you by The Virtual Field<https://thevirtualfield.org/> and UFERN member Ryan Petterson.

Contact info for questions is just below.

Immersive Technology for Virtual Field Trips
April 23, 2021  11:00 am to 1:00 pm PDT
More Information and Registration<https://cei.sonoma.edu/immersive-technology> (deadline April 20)

Immersive reality is bringing outdoor education to a whole new level. Yet so many of us have never even put on a headset and stepped into a 360 experience. In this hands-on workshop, you will explore 360 photos and 360 videos created by faculty and field station staff to explore natural areas. You will learn how to use a virtual reality viewer, generate 360 photos using your smartphone, create educational content, and discuss best practices and methods. Bring a pair of VR goggles and be immersed!

Event Leaders:

  *   Sara Kassis, Faculty Fellow for Immersive Learning, Virtual Immersive Teaching and Learning (VITaL) Laboratory, Sonoma State University
  *   Ryan Petterson, Director of Field Education, School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences, Stanford University
Contact: Sara Kassis (kassiss at sonoma.edu<mailto:kassiss at sonoma.edu>) or Claudia Luke (707.536.8915)
