The Impact of Virtual Reality on Learning -- Campus Technology

The Impact of Virtual Reality on Learning -- Campus Technology | Augmented & Virtual Reality | Scoop.it
As virtual reality goes mainstream and provides new ways for students to interact and gain hands-on experience, it's important to experiment and demonstrate the technology's potential learning benefits.

Nik Peachey's curator insight, May 12, 2017 7:31 AM

I wouldn't say that virtual reality is 'mainstream' or anywhere near to being close to that, but still some interesting points.

Carlos Fosca's curator insight, May 12, 2017 12:33 PM

La realidad virtual es y será una herramienta educativa muy poderosa que permita la inmersión total y por tanto una experiencia multisensorial cuasi real en un ambiente diseñado para el aprendizaje. La gran limitante aún son los costos del desarrollo de los contenidos digitales. Allí aparece su competidor (aunque en realidad son complementadores) : la realidad aumentada que puede incorporar directamente a la realidad elementos digitales que hagan de cada espacio físico una experiencia de aprendizaje mucho más excitante.

Nice list of AR apps
Oskar Almazan's curator insight, April 12, 2017 6:22 PM
Augmented reality–a technology that uses a trigger image to superimpose digital content over a user’s view of the real world–is growing in popularity and accessibility, and it holds a wealth of potential for education. Often described as “QR codes on steroids,” the technology offers new and exciting ways for students to interact with lessons, said Jeff Peterson, an instructional technologist in the Lamar Consolidated ISD in Texas. Peterson presented a TCEA 2017 session on augmented reality’s application in classrooms.
