Episode 170-Beyond the Headsets: Running a VR Lab That Actually Works

Welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education, where we explore how virtual reality is used to transform teaching and learning.

In today’s episode, we are joined by Jamie Giarraputo, who runs a busy and highly active VR lab at South Thames College.

Jamie has been sharing short, practical insights from his day-to-day work, giving a rare look into what it actually takes to run VR sessions at scale. In this conversation, we move beyond the idea of VR as a tool and get into the systems behind it, from setup and safety to onboarding, session design, and what makes an experience truly worth using in the classroom.
