Jisc and Coherent Digital, a digital content and information services group, have signed an agreement to offer Mindscape Commons virtual reality (VR) content to both FE and HE institutions in the UK.
Mindscape Commons allows future counsellors, social workers, and psychologists to explore a variety of mental health experiences and to help students build empathy and develop critical clinical skills in a safe and repeatable setting. Content is enhanced with interactive quizzes, book chapters, discussion questions, and other tools to facilitate teaching and improve learning outcomes.
Launched in November 2020, Mindscape Commons is a source of VR and interactive video content for teaching and learning mental health. It offers hundreds of immersive and interactive, short-form, 360° and 2D videos for teaching and training. In service to the community, Mindscape Commons also aggregates and preserves open-source, research, and commercial VR content for free.
The agreement allows Jisc members to become members of Mindscape Commons.
The agreement began February 1, 2022, and all participating Jisc member institutions and affiliated researchers are eligible.
