The University of Toledo\u2019s Learning Enhancement Center (LEC) is hosting a Wednesday, Feb. 16, showcase for UToledo students to experience its new virtual reality technology for tutoring.<\/p>\n

Using Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality headsets, students will interact with tutors in a virtual space that provides them the ability to learn and understand difficult concepts through \u201chands-on\u201d work, including the ability to create an image in a 3D space.<\/p>\n

Scheduled from noon to 2 p.m. in Carlson Library Room 0200, the virtual reality tutoring showcase is for anyone interested in learning more or stepping into the virtual reality space.<\/p>\n

“UToledo students now have access to a state-of-the-art tool through virtual reality tutoring,\u201d said Tia Tucker, director of Academic Support Services. \u201cWe are excited to offer this unique platform to\u00a0contribute to student success\u00a0by providing experiential learning to support academic instruction outside of the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

UToledo is beta testing the technology through the VRedu pilot program, which is operated by LEC\u2019s partner, Tutor Matching Service, which connects students with private tutors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"<\/a>
