🎓 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐈𝐌 DEXLab encourages and embraces the implementation of emerging technologies like VR in education. Together with Daria Wijler (Lagutaeva) and Ingo Verhulst, who led the implementation of VR in the course Management Information Systems, we reflect on the experience and summarize a few learnings that are worth sharing. 📚 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝: • 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲: The process of integrating VR requires more preparation time than traditional teaching methods. Allow ample time for testing applications, creating detailed instructions, and addressing potential technical issues. • 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝: Technology evolves rapidly, and features (or apps) you plan to use might change. Building flexibility into your lesson plans helps accommodate unexpected updates or technical challenges. Our experience with Meta Workrooms' whiteboard feature removal taught us the importance of having backup plans. • 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭: Initial sessions might face some hurdles, but subsequent implementations typically run much more smoothly as both instructors and students become more comfortable with the technology. Bringing VR into a traditional curriculum is not just about adopting new tools, it is about rethinking how we teach. From hardware limitations to creating meaningful content, the journey is ongoing. Looking ahead, we aim to refine our approach and continue exploring how immersive technologies can make education more impactful and inclusive. 🔗 For a deeper dive into our experiences, read the full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/ek38THTU   We would love to hear from you.
