Future Learning Spaces

360° Learning Environments

Panoramic images, such as spherical panoramas, are very suitable for teaching. They offer the possibility of providing insights into real learning spaces, such as laboratories or workshops, and enriching them interactively. Depending on the usage scenario, the 360° learning spaces can be "experienced" on a PC or via VR glasses. All offers and practical examples in this field are developments within the context of the ‘Future Learning Spaces’ project (fuels).

With the help of 360° panoramas, an authentic panoramic view of the surroundings can be achieved.

If the panoramas are enriched with differently formulated media interaction elements, e.g., 360° videos, audios or interactive question formats, it is possible to transform the spherical panoramas into new virtual learning spaces. This results in completely new possibilities for virtual space appropriation, orientation, and exploration in the teaching and learning context.
The basis for this is the didactic concept, the definition of the learning objective and the implementation in a framework action adapted to the use case.

Qualification and Support Programmes

In order to fully utilise the potential of 360° learning scenarios, we offer a comprehensive support and qualification program for instructors to impart both the necessary technical know-how and the corresponding didactic knowledge. To illustrate our concepts, we also refer to actual application scenarios and best practice examples from the university.

During our one-hour information sessions, anyone interested can gain a concise overview of the process of creating a 360° production for teaching purposes.

Our workshop programme on the design and creation of virtual teaching and learning scenarios in 360° is designed to enable you to realise a specific project idea.

The online course on the conception and design of 360° learning scenarios is aimed at anyone interested in implementing such a scenario in their teaching. Through the course, you can learn the necessary skills for media-based instructional design, as well as the technical knowledge required for tools, workflows and production.
