How to create an online immersive learning experience

As featured in our Digital Curriculum Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Menu.  On the 5 November 2024 and 12 March 2025, me and my colleague delivered our new session 'How to create an online immersive learning experience'.  As written, it aimed to:

"Learn how to create your own online immersive learning experience using H5P’s user-friendly Virtual Tours (360), with available authentic panoramic 360° images.  By the end of this brief workshop you will have created a basic online immersive experience to further develop.  Little technical know-how required."

As the School of Social Sciences has an objective to develop staff digital skills in the production of high quality digital immersive learning, which was influenced by my work in this area.  The School's Digital Development Group has recognised this workshop as an offering to support with this objective.  Therefore, the March workshop was opened widely for the School of Social Sciences colleagues to attend.  Though specifically designed for IHAP staff, the optional invitation was offered fully online to accommodate additional people.


Some slides were adapted to include some School-wide resources.

We received the following feedback:
