Abstract

The use of technology within the 21st century to assist with Millennials provides the opportunity to explore unique opportunities for designing new approaches not just for education but also for the industry. Bridging communities helps with retention and engagement and supports through a variety of different devices too, for example, VR, AR, mobile learning, massively multiplayer online (MMOs) like Pokémon Go to sensory devices like the Kinect. It is these combinations of technology mixed with learning theories that can have a positive effect while addressing various health and well-being issues such as stress and depression. This chapter explores a variety of topics and how to bridge the gap with several scenarios while providing useful insights on opportunities and challenges.
