Recommendation for institutions: Promote informal social networks around XR technology. Such a group creates buy-in with the technology, as members support each other's uses and brainstorm new ones; thus membership grows over time library.educause.edu/resources/2020… Jeffrey Pomerantz #VR #HigherEd

Recommendation for institutions: It is a matter of social equity to provide access to hardware and software as institutional resources. Providing access to tech benefits students who do not own it & benefits students who are remote from campus library.educause.edu/resources/2020… Jeffrey Pomerantz #VR

Recommendation for institutional leaders: The support provided by institutional leadership has a profound effect on #XR adoption. Support here means budget—providing hardware, software, & staff—& permission, so users have the space to innovate library.educause.edu/resources/2020… Jeffrey Pomerantz #VR

Recommendation for institutional leaders: The level of risk tolerance by leadership is critical to the success of #XR. Providing resources to support XR, and flexibility to design service models for the campus community, will promote its use library.educause.edu/resources/2020… Jeffrey Pomerantz #VR

Recommendation for institutional leaders: Effective use of #XR requires technical skills & an understanding of #InstructionalDesign. Developing capacity across institutional silos will promote the use of XR across campus library.educause.edu/resources/2020… Jeffrey Pomerantz #VR #HigherEd @DCBPhDV2

Recommendation for institutional leaders: ✅Showcase successful use cases. ✅Harness the enthusiasm of early adopters. ✅Provide a venue for demonstrating #XR. Some people need to see tech in use before they imagine how they might use it library.educause.edu/resources/2020… Jeffrey Pomerantz #VR

Thread. One, I love South Korean food culture so much. Two, Where can I find these in the States? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

Finally published! New article in EDUCAUSEreview by Randall Rode & myself, on the future of #XR in #highered. The world has changed since we started writing but #edtech has never been more relevant! er.educause.edu/articles/2020/…

"Someone on campus must advocate for #XR. Some will need to see XR in use before they can imagine how they might use it for their own courses. Others might want to see data on the efficacy of XR for learning and evidence of its impact." er.educause.edu/articles/2020/… EDUCAUSEreview

Even before the pandemic, XR technologies were proving their value to education. In the changed circumstances that colleges and universities face today, XR can play an even more significant role. er.educause.edu/articles/2020/… #VR #AR #HigherEd Jeffrey Pomerantz Randall Rode

"This situation (#COVID19) makes clear the potential of #XR for teaching and learning, but it also makes clear the fact that not all of the tools are in place for XR to be as useful in education as it could be." -Jeffrey Pomerantz Randall Rode EDUCAUSE er.educause.edu/articles/2020/…

What Jason Griffey said! I’ve been wanting to have a reason to write with him for years. And thanks so much to Gita Manaktala and The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social

I wrote a long-form piece about communities migrating between online services. I wrote it a decade ago but it never got published. It seems relevant again, so I've resurrected it. A little dated but hopefully interesting. medium.com/@jpom/the-grea…

Taylor & Francis has a long history of contempt for authors & copyright-related greed. My own sorry little tale of getting scrod by T&F, from 2011 jeffrey.pomerantz.name/2011/06/my-cop…
