Maria College VR Lab

Hear about how Maria College, a small liberal arts school in Albany with undergrad and grad programs primarily in health-related fields, incorporates incredible state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR) work into the training of nurses and occupational therapists. Dr. Jason Coley, director of the Center for Academic Innovation, explains the many ways that VR prepares nursing students for their clinical experience. He notes many benefits of the technology, including providing enhanced opportunities for student-student collaboration, repeated practice, identification of opportunities for skills improvement, and much more. He also notes how the tools can be used to offset some of the challenges for traditionally marginalized communities. For more information, visit www.mariacollege.edu.
