This project aims to serve the national interest by improving technician education at two-year colleges through expanding immersive technology use in the classroom. Immersive technologies include 360° photography and videography, augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR). By bridging the gap between industrial and societal use and academic integration of immersive technologies, the Technical Workforce Immersive Teaching and Learning Resource project will flatten the immersive technology implementation learning curve. This project will provide two-year college faculty opportunities to bring innovative, evidence-based adult-learning practices into technician education through professional development opportunities where they can develop immersive curricula for their classrooms. Technician students engaged with immersive technologies in the classroom will be better prepared to adapt to a rapidly changing workplace.The goal of this three-year project is to provide professional development opportunities related to immersive technology curricula to two-year college faculty. These technologies provide students with active learning environments where they can be immersed in the content and construct new knowledge. This project will develop and deploy faculty resources including two-week immersive technology summer bootcamps, immersive learning community networks, and content development support. This bold approach represents a necessary first effort to extend evidence-based immersive learning tools. Faculty at two-year colleges will explore immersive technologies specific to their disciplines and construct experiences to use in their classrooms and laboratories. Content developed through this project will contribute to a repository of open educational resources for instruction using immersive technologies. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the Nation’s economy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在通过扩大沉浸式技术在课堂上的使用来改善两年制大学的技术教育，从而为国家利益服务。沉浸式技术包括360°摄影和摄像、增强现实（AR）、混合现实（MR）和虚拟现实（VR）。通过弥合沉浸式技术的工业和社会使用与学术整合之间的差距，技术劳动力沉浸式教学和学习资源项目将使沉浸式技术实施学习曲线变得平坦。该项目将提供为期两年的大学教师机会，通过专业发展机会将创新的，基于证据的成人学习实践带入技术人员教育，他们可以为课堂开发沉浸式课程。在课堂上参与沉浸式技术的技术学生将更好地适应快速变化的工作场所。这个为期三年的项目的目标是为两年制大学教师提供与沉浸式技术课程相关的专业发展机会。这些技术为学生提供了积极的学习环境，他们可以沉浸在内容中并构建新的知识。该项目将开发和部署教师资源，包括为期两周的沉浸式技术夏令营，沉浸式学习社区网络和内容开发支持。这种大胆的方法是扩展基于证据的沉浸式学习工具的必要的第一步。两年制学院的教师将探索特定于其学科的沉浸式技术，并构建在课堂和实验室中使用的体验。通过该项目开发的内容将有助于使用沉浸式技术进行教学的开放教育资源库。该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划侧重于推动国家经济的先进技术领域的技术人员的教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
