The Center for Teaching Excellence invites faculty, staff, and students to apply to attend a weeklong hands-on Virtual Environments Bootcamp to be held in Columbia. You’ll learn the basics for using the latest virtual environments technologies as well as how to teach using these tools.
Join us and learn about:

This Bootcamp is for you if you’re a USC:

The application process is competitive and up to 20 participants will be selected. There is no cost to attend, however, you will need to provide for your own meals, transportation and lodging.
