Ackerman, K. B. (2023, October 13). Practice opportunities using mixed reality simulations. Presentation for University of Kentucky Teaching Excellence Symposium. University of Kentucky, Gatton College of Business and Economics.
Using virtual reality simulations for training purposes has a strong evidence base in various professions (e.g., military), but only recently have we begun to use simulations in teacher preparation. We will demonstrate how a well-constructed practice opportunity can benefit college scholars and the unique format we use to implement practice opportunities through mixed reality simulations.
