The Media Academy of Nottingham Trent University (UK) is finalising a unique pilot project that uses a Discovery Dome as a travelling 'jobexperience' classroom (http://bit.ly/axYj17)
If deemed successful, the project will be expanded and rolled out across Nottinghamshire using a number of Discovery Domes.
This is a wonderful example of innovative use of the fulldome medium, without a star or planet in sight!

ALIVE – accessible learning in virtual environments
Pilot Project : 5m Discovery Dome system
Imagine a classroom that can go anywhere and take students anywhere - a portable space that can be turned into the backstage rig of a concert, a surgical theatre, or a newsroom preparing to broadcast.
This is what Nottingham Trent University Media Academy, in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council are working to create using Discovery Dome systems.The university is working with employers and consortia across the county to use Discovery Domes to support work-related learning for Diploma students in the curriculum subjects Creative and Media, Society Health & Development and Construction & the Built Environment.
The learning interface is designed to be fun, intuitive and non-linear, focussed on tour-able 360 environments that include virtual conversations with professionals in their workplace.
Through the fulldome medium, students can experience work-related learning in places and with people they might not otherwise have access to.
