What is Bodyswaps?

Bodyswaps is a virtual reality (VR) application designed to help students build essential soft skills through immersive, interactive simulations. Covering key areas such as:

• Employability
• Communication
• Management & Leadership
• Diversity Equity & Inclusion
• Healthcare

Bodyswaps offers a unique learning experience where students observe real-world scenarios, respond using their own voice and body language, and then “swap bodies” to view their performance from another perspective. Each simulation concludes with a personalized report on behaviour analysis and semantics.
Visit the Bodyswaps Library for a full listing of modules.

If licences are allocated to your course, continue with the following steps.

Step 3 - BECOME FAMILIAR WITH Bodyswaps

Before introducing Bodyswaps to your students, we recommend exploring the modules yourself to become familiar with the content. You can do this by meeting with us in person to experience Bodyswaps using a VR headset, or by requesting access to a faculty demo account to review the modules on your laptop or mobile device.

STEP 4 - RESERVE & PICK-UP THROUGH IT SERVICE DESK

Reserve headsets: Faculty must submit a ticket to the IT Service Desk by emailing sesrvicedesk@dc-ot.ca to reserve the VR headsets for the appropriate dates. This should be done well in advance to ensure the headsets are available. The set contains 8 VR headsets in a case with wheels and handle for easy transport.

Pick-up headsets: Prior to class, faculty can pick the headsets up from the IT Service Desk located in SW100. Ensure enough cleaning wipes have been included based on your class size. If using the headsets with multiple classes, ask for charging cables to charge in between classes.

STEP 5 - PLAN IN-CLASS USE

Instructions: Additional guidance will be provided once your Bodyswaps licensing has been confirmed.

Support: If you would like assistance from the CTL team with using Bodyswaps and the VR headsets during class, please reach out to us to check availability and coordinate support. Assistance is available during CTL working hours.
