Experience world-class academics at ASU
As the nation’s most innovative university, ASU is pushing the boundaries of higher education
Research shows that students learn more when they actively explore concepts in the context of real-world problems. Dreamscape Learn engages students and teaches them in an entirely new way — by enabling them to become part of the story. The highly engrossing virtual reality curriculum creates a focused environment for students that can dramatically improve how much they learn and retain. In fact, ASU research shows that the median grade for Dreamscape Learn lab assignments is an “A,” almost a full letter grade higher than the same class that does not use Dreamscape Learn.
The Dreamscape Learn experience is available to all students. If you are a life sciences, biology or health-related science major, enroll in BIO 181 to participate in Dreamscape Learn. All other undergraduate students should enroll in BIO 100. These courses fulfill ASU's undergraduate general requirements for the natural sciences. Talk to your academic advisor about how to enroll.
