• Title of course: Curricular Modules: 3D and Immersive Visualization Tools for Learning

• Aimed at what category of students: Science, Computer Science, Design

• Educators: wide range of disciplines, including Studio Art

• Goal of course(s):

  • This project represents a collaborative effort among faculty from a wide range of disciplines. The modules were developed by small teams of three students and three faculty members, each representing a different discipline - science, computer science, and design. The team approach provided a rich and focused learning environment, allowing students to collectively understand and solve visualization problems. All participants developed a greater respect both for the collaborating outside disciplines and their own specialties.
