Transforming an Emerging Technologies and Creativity Research Lab to a Virtual and Interactive Environment using Mozilla Hubs: The Challenges and Lesson Learned

• In Event: D&D- Learning Design and Environments (h)

Short Description

In this session, we present the design of a virtual lab based on our experiences as emerging technologies facilitators before and during the COVID-19 lockdown. Before the lockdown, our lab frequently hosted many visitors and events. During the lockdown, we had to (re)conceptualize how to engage people virtually. One of the solutions we explored is the Mozilla Hubs. We believe this session will be beneficial to all educational technologists and stakeholders in emerging technology labs.
