PHASE I & II PROGRAMS
PARTNERSHIP INFRASTRUCTURE
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT:
The Wyoming Innovation Partnership funds the work of the administrative support staff to ensure a swift launch of programming and ongoing support. This includes developing and utilizing formalized project management structures for ongoing support of statewide partners, project operations, and budgetary reporting and accountability.
VIRTUAL REALITY:
The virtual reality component works to expand Wyoming’s higher education institutions' capacity to integrate virtual reality into courses, develop and create virtual reality applications, and coordinate the deployment of virtual reality resources to maximize return on investment.
Virtual reality integration will span throughout the WIP phases and expand the reach of education programs to site bound students and offer additional tools to engage students.
PHASE II KEY METRICS
The Wyoming Innovation Partnership (WIP) is focused on key metrics, data, and outcomes. This data-driven approach has been used to guide decisions that support solidifying transformational strategies to help Wyoming and our communities thrive long-term and realize a return on investment.
The virtual reality (VR) component focuses on expanding the capacity of higher education institutions to integrate virtual reality into courses. This includes developing applications and coordinating the deployment of virtual reality resources, with a notable investment of $275k in VR equipment and software in Phase I. As a result, WIP not only facilitates collaboration among institutions but also leverages cutting-edge technology to enhance the educational experience for Wyoming students.
