Abstract: Abstract Southern New Hampshire University is a large, innovative institution of higher education in the United States. In addition to a physical campus, the university also serves over 120,000 students online, offering Bachelor’s Degrees, Master’s Degrees, Associate Degrees and Certificate Programs. Due to the large population of remote learners the university has developed sophisticated digital platforms for teaching and learning. SNHU also monitors trends in education and technology. With an interest in virtual reality’s (VR) potential to impact teaching and learning, the Innovation Center at SNHU partnered with Nucco Brain at Unit9, a leading digital innovation and production studio, to design and build VR-based active learning experiences for a neuroscience course. The two teams utilized a collaboration methodology with faculty subject matter experts and learning and instructional specialists working closely with creative technologists.
