Dreamscape Learn
Dreamscape Learn is an innovative educational platform that integrates virtual reality (VR) and immersive storytelling techniques to create a highly engaging and interactive learning environment. The platform aims to transform traditional education by leveraging the power of VR to make complex subjects more accessible and captivating. Students can explore virtual worlds, interact with dynamic simulations, and engage in experiential learning that enhances understanding and retention. Dreamscape Learn is designed to complement conventional teaching methods, providing a multi-sensory experience that fosters deeper learning and critical thinking skills.
We are committed to enhancing the learning journey by integrating innovative methods that make education more engaging and impactful.

Redefining the Limits of Education
The Dreamscape Learn partnership offers avatar-driven immersive experiences for both campus-based and online courses, beginning with introductory biology and expanding across the sciences and beyond. These learning labs allow students to collaborate with faculty to solve problems, explore virtual worlds, and deepen their learning.
Bring Your Next Class to the Dreamscape Lab
What if your next in-person class could meet inside an ancient tomb, a coral reef, the Oval Office, or even the Moon? We’re inviting faculty to use Dreamscape Learn in a powerful and flexible way: you and your students are together, live, in the same immersive VR environment, where you lecture, discuss, and guide learning synchronously, just as you would in a physical classroom, but somewhere extraordinary. Fill out this interest form and let us know what you’d like to do.
We currently offer 13 pre-built immersive environments designed specifically for live, instructor-led teaching, where the class and instructor share the same space and experience learning together for up to 30 students:
Currently Available Immersive Learning Environments:
- Ancient Egyptian Tomb
- Peaceful Island at Dusk
- The Colorado River
- The Colosseum
- Coral Reef (Underwater)
- Geneva Classroom
- Greek Theater
- Ice Caps
- Mission Control Center (Apollo 11, 1969)
- The Oval Office
- Sculpture Gallery
- Senate Chamber
- The Supreme Court
- The Moon
Faculty may choose to:
- Bring your class into one of these immersive environments to deliver a live, in-person lecture within VR, or
- Partner with us to co-create a custom immersive environment aligned with your course outcomes and teaching style.
Faculty are excited about Dreamscape Learn because shared immersive environments increase student engagement and retention, make complex concepts more tangible, and enhance instruction while keeping faculty fully in control with the full support of our Educational Technology Team.
Interested? Please complete the short interest form, and we’ll follow up to schedule your class or explore a custom experience together. Come hold class somewhere new, together.
