It’s no surprise that Virtual Reality has grown in popularity and use the past couple of years. In this article, we’ll look at some of the uses of VR and AR in education – from universities and college students to elementary school.
Schools can transform the classroom with VR and AR systems, making the learning environment as interactive and unique as you need. For example, students can take on investigative crime scenes, travel worldwide, practice surgical procedures, and explore geography or science.
Because VR headsets create a virtual world, students can learn history by traveling through time or travel the world to all the natural wonders of the world. Teachers can guide students through VR as a group or let students learn individually.
Examples of Schools Using VR
Below are a few examples of VR and AR in teaching – from colleges to elementary school.
1) Students in the Czech Republic learn biology with VR headsets to pick up and examine organs.
2) Medical students are learning acupuncture and how to treat cancer tumors using VR.
3) Students can learn science through AR by bringing a tornado into the classroom, virtually looking through the funnel, or exploring the inner workings of a beehive.
4) There are now various apps to learn frog anatomy (instead of dissecting a frog) or the night sky.
5) Microsoft Hololens allows students to travel through the human body, from blood vessels to bone structure.
6) Students can travel back in time to Berlin, Germany, during World War II using real-life footage to understand what it was like during a historical event.
It is well-known that people learn best by doing, so it makes perfect sense that VR is seen in more schooling applications. VR makes learning interactive, fun, and, most importantly, memorable. There are so many virtual learning experiences; the possibilities are just beginning.
So, take your students on the learning adventure of a lifetime with VR. Get started with an interactive curriculum today.
