Immersive virtual reality tours of college and university campuses increases student enrolment and reduces new student anxiety. Read the book, review the evidence and experience the results.
Thanks Craig Scott!! There is no better book promo than testimonials, and even better, photos, from friends and colleagues! Blackpool Tower, England.
In chapter 16 of my book, The Future of Education is Experiential, I dive into returns on investment for the exploration and integration of XR & AI in education: Educational, Reputational and Recruitment, Financial, and Future proofing ROIs.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Paula MacDowell, for reading my book, The Future of Education is Experiential, and her very kind words! #experientialearning #FutureEducation
This might be the first copy of my book purchased from Abu Dhabi 🙂

Where "The Future of Education is Experiential" is most popular this month.
I did both my undergrad and my masters' online. I loved both, but it was an isolated experience. Now, not only can schools add a synchronous component, but they can add an experiential element that can be synchronous or asynchronous. Online learning CAN BE experiential!
Of all the barriers to XR exploration and adoption in education, the biggest barrier is perception.
Visualization in #XR allows learning that would otherwise be impossible, impractical or expensive. #virtualreality #augmentedreality
Does your school offer 3D tours of your campus? "XR-based virtual tours and interactive content can increase campus tour signups and applications by 10-30% (Eickhoff, 2017). Northern Arizona University's annual cost for a virtual tour was $13,000. Just one student covers the cost (Eickhoff, 2017)."
Thanks for purchasing my book Alexander! Hope you enjoy reading it as I enjoyed the journey described in the pages.
