PRT 491: Sport Facility Virtual Reality Field Trips and Assessment

The theme of this project is empowering faculty.

Team members developed a “bank” or collection of video and virtual tours with interactive elements of sports facilities at local, state, and national levels. They also created a scalable solution and procedure for faculty/staff to produce and maintain instructional video and virtual tours on their own and develop case studies and a learning materials database for multimedia assets.

Instructional Challenges

  • Field trips are enriching ways to instruct and engage with students, but they’re not always feasible due to physical and financial constraints.
  • Students need overlap between real-world challenges and in-classroom instruction.
  • There is a high volume of requests for multimedia incorporation into classrooms.

Highlights/Solutions

  • Train faculty and staff to produce and maintain instructional video and virtual tours on their own and develop case studies and learning materials database for multimedia assets.
  • Bring the field trip experience of local, national and international venues to the classroom with instructional virtual field trips and videos of PNC Arena, Manchester United and Clemson Memorial Stadium.
  • Maintain a partnership with PNC Arena  to develop real-world training solutions for PNC Arena employees and implement into SEVM curriculum.
  • Train and empower faculty and instructional support staff to evaluate, purchase and produce virtual reality tours and instructional video.
