This research center and Nationwide Children’s Hospital are working together to create virtual reality training that will help staff calm patients.
Increasingly, graduate students are interested in using digital research methods and tools in their coursework and their theses and dissertations, and they are seeking opportunities to learn about them. This student-centered, student-directed Community of Practice (CoP) provides a forum for Arts + Humanities graduate students to mingle and learn about best practices, digital research methods, various tools and available resources.
If you are a new or returning graduate student at Ohio State, there are events planned at the beginning of the term to connect and welcome graduate students to campus. Here are some of the events planned for welcome week autumn 2023.
Participants have access to labs and mentors, as well as professional development.
