Thanks to her varied experience, Louise brings a unique perspective to a broad range of topics across education, virtual reality (VR), and how to combine them to support social and environmental justice. She shares her expertise on such topics as the role of VR in the future of education and the workplace, how to design effective learner-centred VR, and how to use awe and wonder through VR to build empathy for the planet (and each other), as well as sharing her journey to becoming an award-winning educational VR developer.
