Leveling Up the Classroom (LUC 2024)

The last few years has given education a great insight into its own practices. Between online classrooms during the pandemic and the rapid emergence of more and more powerful technologies, we educators have seen a growing need to reevaluate our classrooms, as well as work with new tech to enhance these learning environments.

As such, we believe that the best way forward is to find new and innovative ways to integrate technologies into the classroom, like VR in Law or video games in composition classrooms, by bringing forward-thinking educators together to learn from each other. We believe that by fostering collaboration between faculty and Universities, we can unlock a world of possibilities that will shape the future of learning across the globe. To do so, the University of Kentucky UKFCU Esports Lounge and affiliated faculty would like to cordially invite you to submit abstracts and to attend our upcoming “Leveling up the Classroom” conference, an interdisciplinary and hybrid event emphasizing the pedagogical utility of games and VR in classrooms across the university setting.
