Faculty Reservations for a VR Lesson
Faculty members may request use of the Immersive Learning Lab for YC instructional purposes. All requests require review and planning with an educational technology instructional designer. This process can take 2-4 weeks depending on complexity and availability of content.
When you initiate a request, we will reach out to plan your VR lesson together.
