Led by Dr These Moylan with presentations by Dr Peter Tiernan and IADT Paul Curran as part of ‘Immersive Pedagogies’ event for Accelerate, November 2022.
 

The event focused on how to develop effective immersive learning, and leveraged IADT’s distinctive pedagogical strengths and experience. It was led by faculty drawn from IADT who have particular specialisms in teaching using immersive technologies. It considered the following questions:

  • What is ‘immersive teaching’, and how does it differ from other forms of teaching (whether in person or ‘traditional’ online)
  • How might immersive teaching be incorporated into a blended or wholly online course?
  • How can immersive teaching foster inclusivity? What are the accessibility challenges?

Biographies:

  • Dr Peter Tiernan is a lecturer at the School of STEM Education, Innovation and Global Studies. He lectures in the areas of digital media, personal development, entrepreneurship education, instructional design and teaching/training skills.
  • Dr Therese Moylan, Head of Department of Entrepreneurship at IADT.
