Book Club Session 2 Recording

UCI Compass Community of Practice Book Club on The Abundant University: Remaking Higher Education for a Digital World. Session 2 - Admissions was held on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, 1:00-2:00pm PT 

We were honored to have Tony Hwang, Executive Director (UCI Enrollment Management), speaking to the group about UCI's endeavors to integrate VR/XR technologies into a hybrid work modality and to bring meaningful benefits to student learning. The collaborative group of UCI colleagues from multiple departments have been testing to determine if these technologies can be leveraged to benefit or improve productivity, specifically around (1) Social Connection; (2) Collaboration; and (3) Engagement. The projects are sponsored by and conducted through the Office of Enrollment Management, and supported by UCI’s Vice Chancellor for Information Technology and Data & Chief Digital Officer, Tom Andriola. 

All sessions will be virtual and recorded for those who cannot attend a session. The book is available online through UCI Libraries. Links to an external site. I have also added a pdf to this invite. Information on previous / subsequent sessions will follow.
