Representatives from Northeastern University have been looking for exciting research and education solutions to provide an interesting experience for their students. Statista data suggests that education and experiential learning has become incredibly important in the development of mixed, virtual and augmented reality technology and content. Northeastern University examines modern approaches and teaching methods, applying more innovative technologies and effective solutions.

Students need practical, proactive experiences that will last and help them apply what they learn. Microsoft Dynamics 365 and HoloLens 2 provide an opportunity for students to experience a radically new approach to experiential and hands-on learning.

Experiential learning replaces traditional

The Department of Biotechnology at Northeastern University has discovered Microsoft solutions to expand the traditional learning approach. After introducing mixed reality technology, they immediately felt the value of using this technology in the educational process.

The value of mixed reality has especially increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. The students had to return home, which limited their learning opportunities. Northeastern University found a way out of this situation and began to use mixed reality. So, students did not miss training while at home. With Dynamics 365 Guides and HoloLens 2, Northeastern University students have an unforgettable learning experience, even in isolation.

Dynamics 365 Guides Reduces Learning Time

Before moving on to teaching with mixed reality technology, Northeastern University conducted an experiment that found that teaching without mixed reality technology was 83% less effective, so students can learn skills faster and learn new knowledge faster.

Motivate students to do more with mixed reality

In addition to shortening the time, mixed reality freed up time for professionals who do not need to be in the classroom. As a result, time can be spent on feedback and advanced techniques. Northeastern University noted that students using mixed reality are quicker and more flexible in applying their skills to the real world. This is the incredible strength of this approach.
