EDUCATION SECTOR IS DRIVING THE FUTURE OF VR IN TUTORING, STEM DEVELOPMENT AND DISTANCE EDUCATION
1
Gamification
Gaming is expanding educational trends. The advantage of VR is the impression of total immersion in the game, while AR contributes the capacity to transform
2
Digital educational materials
Popular trend is the evolution of traditional reading and writing materials that support learning (books, photocopies, etc.) toward a new ecosystem of digital resources. The growing availability of VR-based video games also implies a revolution in the materials offered in order to participate in an immersion experience and not
just look up information
3
Mobile learning
Students can explore the AR- or VR-based learning content in any order, whenever and wherever they wish, without being restricted by class schedules and the classroom, as long as they have the appropriate digital device. It offers the advantage (and the challenge) that anywhere can become a learning scenario and the activity can be designed in the most suitable simulated or real environment for its development .
4
Blended learning
One of the criticisms of the intensive use of learning is, precisely, the absence of a pedagogical plan, which integrates the resources offered by AR and VR within a sequence designed specifically for the development of competencies. This is why some authors prefer a blended model that combines the virtues of face-to-face learning (physical presence of a teacher, performance assessment, feedback from an expert) with those of online learning.
5
Expanded education
AR and VR can generate learning environments with the person who is learning as the protagonist, without the need for a specific program of study or the guidance of a teacher, according to the advocates of the concept of expanded education.
