What is A virtual Tour?

Virtual tours guide users through a digital simulation of real world locations created with images, videos, and other multimedia elements. The university supports the virtual tour software Clio. 

What is Clio?

Clio is a free website and mobile app that allows users to create virtual walking, biking, and driving tours. Tours created through Clio can be taken from the comfort of one's own home, or made at the physical location. Each Clio tour stop has a template with spaces to add text, images, videos, audio, citations, related content, Google maps, and street view. Being connected to Google maps and street view makes the tours easy to follow in person, help users understand the distance between locations, and allows users viewing from home to see how locations appears in the present. 

Clio for instructors 

In Clio, instructors can create a "classroom" which allows them to view students' tours without making them public and lets students collaborate on the platform. Clio also provides resources for instructors on different ways to incorporate it into their class. Those resources can be found by going to the instructor resources section of the resources page.
