ORU opens Global Learning Center for students all over the world

by Amy Jenson, ABC Tulsa

Reading out of a textbook for school can be boring but imagine getting to interact with what you are reading about. You are sitting in class learning about space shuttles but all you can see is a picture of the shuttle in a textbook. Student, Shawn Madison is looking at it on his phone as if it were sitting on his own desk. “I have taken several medical classes and I have gotten to really understand different components,” Madison said. “Getting to be more hands on is really exciting to me.” The more than 50,000 square-foot remodel brought Oral Roberts University smart classrooms, virtual and augmented reality, robotics and global interaction.
