Axon Park, a virtual campus, recently announced the launch of the world’s first full-semester course taught exclusively in VR -- the 'Unreal Engine VR Master Class.' The course will run for 14 weeks and the project-based learning is designed to allow students to learn the core concepts.
The course is being taught by Alex Silkin, CTO and Co-Founder of Survios -- a popular virtual reality game founded in 2013. Silkin stated: “This is the first class of its kind. We’ll meet twice a week in virtual classrooms and build amazing virtual reality content together... I am beyond excited to help students invent their solutions for the still relatively untamed landscape of VR development.” As our world shifts to become more technology focused, it's no surprise the education field has become more digitized.
