3 Ways Virtual Reality Can Enhance Learning

Virtual reality has the potential to create a new language for experiential learning. Maya Georgieva and Emory Craig talk about what VR can do for student

Emory Craig and Maya Georgieva talk about how VR can affect students and what possibilities it gives to the lecturers themselves. According to them it can bring much more impact on the student as they'll be able to experience in "person" the environment they study and they can experience events they'd never be able to without VR tech. They emphasise the way it can bring people together as they can e.g. bring students for virtual campfire and people could spend time together even if they're "worlds apart". Also, Emory Craig underlines that for students, PowerPoint presentations are already boring and they don't really want to pay attention to them. Therefore, bringing up VR tech sharing knowledge is way more interesting and it can produce wonderful effects that presentations wouldn't. It's something that VR tech can change for the better and am sure many, many people would want to experience things "alive" rather than reading about them.
