This highly interactive VR app provides a safe space in which users can develop key patient interaction skills and practise the process for obtaining blood samples.
Read about the appAs we do for every Learning Innovation project, our VR products have been developed with a focus on human-centred design.
Read our approachEmerging from our findings on past virtual reality projects, the toolkit is a practical guide to help educators determine whether a VR experience would be suitable to meet a pedagogical need.
Discover the toolkit
We are always looking at new ways to transform teaching and learning practices, helping to inform and improve methods of learning for students.
We are testing and experimenting with new technologies and systems that can help enable students realise their study goals.
We are continuously looking out for emerging ideas, approaches and technologies in education, undertaking research, working directly with students, and attending events across the HE sector.
We work with a variety of partners at The Open University and across the sector to promote innovation, sharing our experience, insights, and processes to assist the uptake of new methods, practices and technologies.
Through collaboration and cooperation, we look to improve the experiences of students and support our academic and professional services colleagues.
How we workTo realise the benefits of immersive simulation in education, the Learning Innovation team is pioneering evidence-led approaches to the design and development of virtual reality experiences.
The Learning Innovation team is small, but we like to think perfectly formed! We're a future-thinking team, looking forward to where we think The Open University should be in five years.
As a team, we all come from slightly backgrounds, with different interests and angles. Every member of our team brings their own insight and experience to each project.
Meet the team
The Learning Innovation team is here to promote and encourage innovation across The Open University and beyond. If we can help to support an idea, or even if you just want to chat about innovation in general, please get in touch.
