Meet Mindscape Commons
With Mindscape Commons you can...
Build clinical skills
Mock therapy sessions safely immerse learners in realistic, high-risk situations.
Build empathy and understanding
More than 100 VR experiences let students feel what it’s like to be bullied, suffer from depression or anxiety, become homeless, or face racism. Simulations filmed in 360-degree immersive video put students “there.”
Diversify your resources
A focus on diversity influenced the content creation. Inclusive trainings address international perspectives, first-generation stories, multicultural dynamics, immigration experiences, and issues related to gender identity, socioeconomic status, and spirituality.
"An innovative training tool for use in my teaching and research… allowing me to create safe, authentic experiential environments that help students gain greater confidence by exposing them to advanced client mental health scenarios.”
Increase the value of your VR lab
Libraries are building VR labs, but there’s still a shortage of quality academic content. Mindscape Commons is a teaching and research resource that proves the value of your VR lab.
"We just established a VR lab in our Social Work Department, and this directory allows us access to resources for faculty use. The opportunities to educate social work students with this technology are limitless, and this opens up countless possibilities."
Multiple award-winner
Mindscape Commons continues to make a mark in the field after winning prestigious awards such as the Charleston Advisor Award for Best Interface and the ALPSP Innovation in Publishing Award.
