Abstract

A case of rudimentary use of 360 Video, Virtual (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) for academic library orientation is aimed to provide a team of one faculty and the director of the virtual lab with hands-on knowledge and experience regarding the application of these technologies in educational settings: http://web.stcloudstate.edu/pmiltenoff/bi/ 2016 has been considered the breakthrough year for VR and AR. Influential organizations for educational technologies, such as the New Media Consortium, the Pew Internet Project and the EduCause Center for Applied Research, predict a rapidly growing trend of these technologies in K−12 and Higher Ed in the next several years. Considering this trend, the team seeks low-end, pragmatic approach to the application of fairly expensive technologies in an academic environment with ever-shrinking opportunities. Further, the team explores the connection of these technologies with the gamification process in education. The experimentation process included assessment of learning outcomes and further collection of patrons’ opinions to assure student-centered approach for the entire endeavor.
