Working in close collaboration with Learning Design – and building off a Faculty Engagement Awards project – Pierce Salguero’s 18 HIST 497/ASIA 405Y/RLST 497 students at Abington constructed virtual tours of 11 locations throughout Japan. With immersive storytelling support, students planned out engaging and informative projects and leveraged ThingLink to assemble materials from a Summer 2023 trip to Buddhist healing temples and other medicinal sites. These tours were integrated as cornerstone content in Dr Salguero’s Jivaka Project website.
