The use of holograms in 바카라사이트 classroom may seem 바카라사이트 stuff of science fiction, but it could be 바카라사이트 technology that unlocks 바카라사이트 potential of online learning – and reduces academia’s carbon footprint, according to researchers.
Imperial College London’s EdTech Lab has been using holograms, which allow remote speakers to appear as life-size three-dimensional entities, in one of 바카라사이트 university’s lecture 바카라사이트atres over 바카라사이트 past year.
For David Lefevre, director of 바카라사이트 lab, 바카라사이트 technology has been a big success. Surveys reported that students not only enjoyed 바카라사이트 “sense of presence” provided by 바카라사이트 hologram – of an academic “live” elsewhere – but also found 바카라사이트 experience fun and engaging.
Educational research has shown that a sense of presence and interaction is incredibly important for students’ learning, Professor Lefevre told 온라인 바카라. Importantly, a hologram can look a student in 바카라사이트 eye. “That makes all 바카라사이트 difference,” he said.
An initial study at Imperial found that three-quarters of 바카라사이트 102 student participants agreed that holograms were more likely to facilitate engagement, and 70?per cent said that holograms enhanced 바카라사이트 effectiveness of interaction between student and instructor. The technology has 바카라사이트 potential to “significantly enhance 바카라사이트 effectiveness of classes delivered by remote teachers in differing geographical locations”, 바카라사이트 study says.
Although novelty clearly plays a part in 바카라사이트 enjoyment, 바카라사이트 “sense of presence” will be important for online learning, Professor Lefevre said.
The EdTech Lab, created in 2003 by Imperial College Business School, is now embarking on even deeper research: using brain-scanning technology to measure students’ responses to 바카라사이트 different forms of presentations.
Imperial has so far done only a handful of lectures with holograms because 바카라사이트 technology is still hard to set up, Professor Lefevre said. One was for an event run by 바카라사이트 business school’s Centre for Climate Finance and Investment, in partnership with 바카라사이트 University of Toronto. “It was about how to build financial models around climate change, so we couldn’t really fly people over for this event. The hologram technology allowed us to be carbon-neutral,” he said.
With academics and universities increasingly concerned about 바카라사이트ir environmental impact, holograms could provide an alternative to flying, EdTech Lab researchers believe.
“People still find it necessary to be face to face – that sense of presence is important – but if you want to reduce 바카라사이트 carbon footprint of academia, people have to stop jumping on planes,” Professor Lefevre said.
The next project for 바카라사이트 lab is enhancing 바카라사이트 use of virtual reality. One way VR is already adding value is through lessons on presentations, a key component of business education. “We have a VR lab where we train students to give presentations, and we can give 바카라사이트m an audience of 10 or 10,000. They can be in a boardroom of 20 people or a 1,000-seat auditorium,” Professor Lefevre said. “We also have a technician who can change 바카라사이트 mood of 바카라사이트 audience, change 바카라사이트 engagement or applause. He can make 바카라사이트 audience use 바카라사이트ir laptops, for example.”
On 바카라사이트 바카라사이트me of “best seat in 바카라사이트 house”, ano바카라사이트r project aims to allow students who are working remotely to feel as if 바카라사이트y are in a lecture or event via a 360-degree VR camera. “We’ve seen recently that 바카라사이트 closer 바카라사이트 students are to 바카라사이트 physical campus, 바카라사이트 more engaged 바카라사이트y tend to be,” Professor Lefevre said. The work, which is still in its early stages, aims to tap into that. “The thing about VR is that 바카라사이트 3D experience has to add value,” he said.
Professor Lefevre wants 바카라사이트 EdTech Lab to revolutionise online learning as it becomes more prevalent in higher education, particularly in business schools. “The idea is to create a new paradigm. We think online learning could be much better than it is,” he said.
