Faculty Happenings
XRC Information Seminar October 24 2019
Charles Sturt University held its first XRC Information Seminar on October 24, 2019 in Wagga Wagga with video conferencing CSU’s XRC is a large-scale bid that will enable internal and external research capacity in Virtual, Augmented, Mixed and eXtended Reality (VR/AR/MR/XR) with a proposed start date of January 2020. The seminar provided a snapshot vision of VR/AR research across CSU, particularly applying the technology to areas in health, arts, education, science and agriculture. This ranged from a perspective of what can be achieved in enhancing knowledge in our society, contributing to innovation in the industries and taking us on a journey through a VR lens in experiencing various cultures and artefact. The interdisciplinary aspect of this day, the richness of embedded technologies, advanced applications and new methods to sustain (as well as populate) our repositories of cultural artefact certainly open the CSU arena for our research innovation through digital transformation and development. A successful event bridging cross faculty research with presentations 11 from academics, as well as postgraduate and undergraduate students. The event was attended by 42 participants across each of CSU campuses. Research team: Professor Eleanor Gates-Stuart (lead), Andrew Hagan, Sarah Redshaw, Elizabeth Wulff For more information contact us on [email protected].

When it comes to the cutting-edge best practices in teaching and learning you can’t go past Nicky Mohan. Nicky wants to make a difference where it matters most – and that starts with education. Her mission is to help teachers in different settings and working conditions look beyond their surface differences, to discover what they have in common: a restless drive to improve learning for all students. She wants our conversations as educators to shift from “why that won’t work here,” to “learn, adapt, share and grow together.”
