We are now only one week away from the grand opening of the Emerging Media Lab’s new space in Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, happening on Tuesday, March 26th, 11:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m! Through collaborations amongst UBC IT, UBC Library, and the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology, there is now a more public and accessible space for EML in the heart of campus for all who are interested in emerging media technology. In celebration of this grand opening, EML invites you to experience eight of our VR/AR experiences and to come to our panel discussion featuring four of our faculty members who use emerging technologies to enhance student education.
