Students use VR to get deeper understanding of history

Digital technology is increasingly becoming the norm in college classrooms and History 422 is fully embracing it.

JMU faculty interested in learning more about incorporating virtual reality technology into their teaching and research/scholarship may contact Kevin Hegg (heggkj@jmu.edu).
