In Fall 2019, San Jose State University’s Virtual Center for Archives and Records Administration developed a survey to determine criteria for courses based in both desktop and headset Virtual Reality. 56 VR and virtual world educators responded, and the survey resulted in 29 criteria. In this presentation, VCARA members address key factors that affected the survey, how the results compared to expectations, and how research and experience in virtual worlds contributed to the survey’s success.
Speakers: Pat Franks / Preceptor Amat–along with 2 iSchool grads: Alyse Dunavant-Jones / AlyseDunavantJones; Marie Vans / Amvans Lapis
