Many higher education institutions are developing advanced learning spaces to facilitate their students. These learning spaces can be hybrid, online or brick and mortar facilities that provide highly engaging and effective learning environments for students. During this virtual tour, we \u2018visited\u2019 facilities in operation at the University of Manchester, WU Vienna (Vienna University of Economics and Business), and NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology). They shared how the physical and virtual infrastructures have been put in place and how these spaces are maintained and used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The University of Manchester has built a 3D virtual \u2018twin\u2019 of their Music and Drama centre. Users navigate through the virtual environment freely, moving between each scanned space. Information \u2018tags\u2019 were added to the virtual world to explain appropriate use of spaces and instruments, and videos were added to show performances from current staff and students. This has reduced the time that staff needed to explain the facility to students. \u2935\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
