Time: 09 :00AM - 5:00PM\n\nConference website: https://techconnectdc.org/imtech-con ference/\n\nFree Registration link: https://techconnectdc.org/imtech-confe rence/ *Register before August 31\, 2023\n\nImmersive Technologies (IM-TEC H) are changing how we think about workforce education and have become a p opular tool for corporate training in recent years. IM-TECH\, also known a s Augmented Reality (AR)\, Mixed Reality (MR)\, Virtual Reality (VR)\, and Extended Reality (XR)\, allow educators\, trainers\, and instructional de signers to create immersive learning experiences that go beyond traditiona l teaching and learning methods. For example\, VR simulations can provide a realistic and engaging way to train employees for a variety of tasks\, f rom customer service to safety procedures. With VR\, employees can make mi stakes and learn from their mistakes in a safe environment. They can also get a better understanding of how to handle different situations that they may encounter on the job. IM-TECH can help us to better understand the wo rld around us and connect with others who share our interests.\n\nSo how c an Immersive Technologies be used in workforce education contexts? What ar e the most recent and impactful learning theories\, methods\, technologies \, and research-based practices that support IM-TECH? This conference addr esses the applicability of IM-TECH to workforce education in industry and higher education and provides examples of the most transformative learning experiences that use IM-TECH for training and development.\n\nCo-sponsore d by: GMU Institute for Digital InnovAtion (IDIA)\n\nBldg: Van Metre Hall\ , Mason Square\, 3351 Fairfax Drive\, GMU Arlington Campus\, Arlington\, Virginia\, United States\, 22201 LOCATION:Bldg: Van Metre Hall\, Mason Square\, 3351 Fairfax Drive\, GMU Ar lington Campus\, Arlington\, Virginia\, United States\, 22201 ORGANIZER:kafi@ieee.org SEQUENCE:14 SUMMARY:Immersive Technologies (IM-TECH) in Training and Education Conferen ce URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/371674 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Title:</strong> Immersive Technolo gies (IM-TECH) in Training and Education Conference</p>\n<p class="locatio n-info__address-text"><strong>Location:</strong> Van Metre Hall\, George M ason University\, 3351 Fairfax Drive Arlington\, VA 22201</p>\n<p class="l ocation-info__address-text"><strong>Date: </strong>September 07\, 3023. <s trong>Time:</strong> 09:00AM - 5:00PM</p>\n<p class="location-info__addres s-text"><strong>Conference website:</strong> https://techconnectdc.org/imt ech-conference/&nbsp\;</p>\n<p class="location-info__address-text"><strong >Free Registration link:</strong> &nbsp\;https://techconnectdc.org/imtech- conference/&nbsp\; *Register before August 31\, 2023</p>\n<p>Immersive Tec hnologies (IM-TECH) are changing how we think about workforce education an d have become a popular tool for corporate training in recent years.
