09/03/2021 – About the Topic:

After over a year of experimenting and rewriting best practices for virtual education, it’s a great time to reflect on what we have learned over the last year as virtual education went into hyperdrive. How will immersive technology applications use these learnings to improve VRAR & Education? What is the future for education? But also, what’s just around the corner… What is, The Next Evolution of Education?
