Virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) have evolved from technological curiosity to cutting edge tools.

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) are finding more avenues to use these transformative technologies in new and innovative ways – including using them into the classroom to help instruct the next generation.

New research points to these new technological techniques actually having a marked impact on learning and education. Dr. Soo Kim (PhD) and Dr. Stacey Lovo with USask’s School of Rehabilitation Science in the College of Medicine have broken new ground in researching and utilizing VR and AI tools in the classroom from grade school up to the university level.

For them, VR and AI are critical for finding new, efficient and effective ways to broaden health research and education.

On this episode of the USask Signature Series podcast, we answer the question: “How can VR and AI help us learn?”
