Solihull College and University Centre Bringing the impossible into the classroom (June 2018)

Solihull College and University Centre’s investment in high-tech facilities for a degree course in game design and virtual reality has prompted innovation on a wider scale, as awareness of the value of virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies has spread to level 2 and 3 courses. Now embedded in a number of subject areas, the innovative tech is making a real impact on learner engagement. This case study outlines the value that VR and AR can bring to mainstream education and training but also gives an insight into how effective procurement and resource management can help colleges invest in more costly new technologies
