A new partnership between ASU and Dreamscape Immersive is turning students into explorers through virtual-reality-based experiences, enabling them to learn and discover in ways never before imagined. This education gamechanger combines the emotional power of Hollywood storytelling with a fully immersive VR experience where students can learn and explore by becoming fully embedded in a virtual environment.

Why Dreamscape Learn?

Research shows that students learn more when they actively explore concepts in the context of actual problems. And ASU students earned a median grade of “A” on Dreamscape Learn lab assignments — almost a full letter grade higher than the same class that doesn’t use Dreamscape Learn. That’s because the Dreamscape experience engages students and teaches them in an entirely new way — by enabling them to become part of the story.
