VR in Education

Hello everyone, welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education, where we explore how virtual reality is being used to transform teaching and learning.

Today, I am thrilled to welcome Bob Cooney to the show. Bob is one of the leading voices in the world of location-based virtual reality, sometimes called VR arcades or LBE VR. He has spent years studying, advising, and challenging this industry to think more deeply about what makes immersive experiences work, not just as entertainment, but as meaningful, memorable, and sustainable experiences.

In this episode, we are going to explore an area that sits right at the intersection of our two worlds: location-based VR and education.

In this episode of VR in Education, we are speaking with Devin Marble, former paramedic, communication specialist and podcaster, now Head of Enterprise Growth at ArborXR and an XR expert working at the intersection of immersive technology, workforce readiness, and scalable training. Building from his riveting TEDx talk on immersive practice, we explore why VR, AR, and MR must move beyond impressive demos and become part of a deeper learning system built around repetition, feedback, and real-world performance.

Today’s episode is a special one. I’m thrilled to welcome Rob Theriault back to the show for a second time. Rob was a guest in episode 75.  Rob is an educator and thought leader in immersive learning, and today we’re talking about the launch of his new book, The Future of Education is Experiential.

Rob shares insights from his own journey, including what works, what doesn’t, and how educators and leaders can thoughtfully approach immersive learning—from first experiments all the way to broader implementation. To learn more about his book, just search for “The Future of Education is Experiential”.

Welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education, where we explore how virtual reality is used to transform teaching and learning.

In today’s episode, we are joined by Jamie Giarraputo, who runs a busy and highly active VR lab at South Thames College.

Jamie has been sharing short, practical insights from his day-to-day work, giving a rare look into what it actually takes to run VR sessions at scale. In this conversation, we move beyond the idea of VR as a tool and get into the systems behind it, from setup and safety to onboarding, session design, and what makes an experience truly worth using in the classroom.

Hello everyone, welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education, where we dive into how virtual reality is being used for teaching and learning.

Today’s conversation gets right to the heart of a question many educators are wrestling with: What actually makes immersive learning high quality? It is one thing to put students into a headset. It is another thing entirely to ensure that what happens inside that experience is aligned, intentional, and impactful.

I am thrilled to be joined by Dr. Erica Barhorst-Cates, who has been deeply involved in research connected to Pearson’s focus on learning efficacy and their partnership with Meta to better understand what effective immersive learning truly looks like. Together, we are going to unpack the emerging Framework and discuss what teachers need to consider when bringing immersive experiences into their classrooms.
