Beyond the technology: Coleg Menai – how to teach with virtual reality

This week we chat to Daniel Dybowski Bryant, an English language and virtual reality lecturer (and all-round ideas person) from Coleg Menai.

Daniel uses virtual reality (VR) to create immersive and engaging learning environments for his English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) students. He explains how the technology can be used to support student and staff wellbeing, and why it’s such a good fit for the current national climate, as well as sharing numerous interesting and practical examples of how to use VR in the classroom.

Daniel even shares some words of wisdom from a good friend who just happens to be the creator of virtual reality.
