Description

Brigham Young University (BYU) Division of Continuing Education (DCE) completed the proof-of-concept phase of an innovation proposal to create On-Location Immersive Virtual Expeditions (on-LIVE) for an online geology course. On-LIVE uses 360-degree video to give students a front-row experience at locations of educational interest. Using Articulate Storyline, this 360-degree view allows viewers to look in all directions and interact with specific parts of the location.

The product is a set of documents including a decision tree to determine if an on-LIVE is valuable for a course, step-by-step instructions for designing the interaction, planning and preparing for the 360-degree video shoot, participating in the video shoot, preparing to create the interaction, working with the media team for creating the 360-degree videos and panoramas, and working in Articulate Storyline to build the interactions.
