How do you assess and provide feedback to students in virtual reality learning activities?

Deciding you're going to use a technology before you've decided on your objective is cart before horse at its finest. The technology should be selected last, based on what you want the student to learn or be able to do. It's actually a little ironic that this is an article that presumes the use of VR, but then asks the readers to consider their goals.

- Real-time performance tracking: Monitor student actions & decisions within the VR environment. Data analytics: Use AI to analyse patterns in student behaviour / progress. Immersive feedback: Provide in-simulation guidance / corrections. Personalised assessments: Tailor challenges based on individual learning curves. Peer review: Enable collaborative assessment in shared VR spaces. Multi-modal feedback: Combine visual, auditory & haptic feedback. Progress visualisation: Offer 3D representations of skill development. Scenario replay: encourage students to review their performance from multiple perspectives. The key is leveraging VR's capabilities to make assessment an integral, engaging part of the learning experience, not separate.

One thing that students really like using is something like Kahoot. Student love being able to compete for the highest score and it also gives the teacher instant feedback on content mastery.

4Trainers important to think what methods to use depending on the Ps and the dynamics of the classroom. Eg, for Ps with #PTSD, for #contesting_history topics it might be more suitable2reflect by taking firstly a pause - even until some time in the future, and not exert pressure on Ps to provide the feedback - as it is usually the case in both formal and non-formal education according to the #EU_funding requirements. Therefore, if for Trainers following these guidelines is unavoidable while the subject of the session is difficult or traumatic, it works better to collect feedback upon some outdoors meditative and comntemplating exercises (was lucky2enjoy them in beautiful gardens where the classics of literature lived and worked).

Google forms is an easy way for teachers to create quizzes. It grades them as soon as they are submitted and integrates with google classroom.

I think it helps to tune up the class into the mode of thinking similar to that in sports: the more often you practice, reflect and complete feedback on your VR activity, the better you will become. Prepare them that initially VR might contradict their expectations, and ask them to provide feedback on their experience with more frequent use of the VR with the same activity.For example, in journalism it is very good to use VR to help develop arguments for the blog post and check how VR understands it. Also it is really worth exploring how fast it could teach/train/mentor a person with zero knowledge to use a certain #graphic_design software according to the specific educational material - this type of activity could be passed2MOOC platforms.

In a civil aviation VR simulation, students performed complex tasks such as pre-flight inspections. I integrated automated scoring algorithms that tracked procedural accuracy, timing, & compliance with safety protocols. For instance, when inspecting an aircraft’s hydraulic system, students were scored based on whether they followed the correct sequence of steps. The system flagged deviations, such as skipping critical safety checks, allowing me to provide data-driven feedback on improving procedural adherence. Automated scoring in VR ensures precise, objective assessment of performance, especially for tasks requiring strict procedural accuracy.
