Over the past several years, Floreo has gathered and cultivated a variety of resources to support our users' successful launch of virtual reality-assisted learning. When something is as  novel as VR, it can be difficult to know where to start in order to ensure optimal success. To help with that, we have developed resources we felt might benefit our users.
