IC Fellows Projects

Building the university
of the future

Our goal: All CWRU students have access to mixed reality by 2030.

With the support of the Provost, the IC Fellows program began in fall of 2021. During the course of their fellowship year, the cohort gains fluency in the application and best practices of mixed reality as a teaching tool and receives support in the design, build, and execution of customized mixed reality courses.

IC Fellows Cohort Program Details

We are looking to our brilliant and diverse community for the next big idea in mixed reality for higher education. 

The IC Fellows Cohort is designed for instructors at CWRU who want to build their own mixed reality apps to use in class, under the mentorship of the IC and TLT. Participation is free and open to all CWRU faculty and staff.

The cohort covers a variety of topics about the transition to teaching in 3-D. Each IC Fellow will create a storyboard and class plan, which will ideally be fully developed and launched the following academic year.

The Showcase presentation at the end of the fellowship year is an opportunity to share the new applications with the CWRU community at large. Each IC Fellow presents their application and has a chance to walk visitors, colleagues, and students through the experience.
