The exciting future of education with virtual reality<\/h3>\n

Over the next few years we will see an explosion of virtual reality in consumer entertainment and universities\u00a0cannot miss the potential that it offers, especially in this period of changing and improved pedagogies. We mivielab experts\u00a0team has been working\u00a0in developing MaGICX Classroom of the Future. This project\u00a0will be launching in 10 Aug 2017<\/strong> by Minister of Malaysia Higher Education.<\/p>\n

UTM<\/strong>\u00a0agrees virtual reality (VR) is relevant to be adopted into classroom 4.0 to support Malaysia\u00a0higher education agenda, towards redesigning higher education. Even though VR\u00a0has started to take off in sectors like news making, gaming and digital marketing, the education sector does not seem to have the range of great experiences that VR can offer.\u00a0The success of technology, such as games and VR, in the classroom is usually due to the efforts of a pioneering cohort, who work against a strong tide that\u2019s judiciously pragmatic. And, it’s usually this tide that cannot see the immediate educational potential of such content \u2013 especially when there are so few great examples available\u00a0for training and education.<\/p>\n

University is not usually an early adopter of these new technologies \u2013 and for good reason. Lecturers will want to ensure that it enhances and improves educational outcomes for students. And most lecturers\u00a0will recognise the fact that VR cannot be used in the classroom context teaching with nineteenth century pedagogical approaches. This is often the biggest problem when using such technologies in the classroom, dooming their implementation for failure with little or no educational impact but more to wow factors.<\/p>\n

But, while it may be a little way until we bring\u00a0our VR projects in the classroom or projecting virtual reality of Ancient Malacca<\/a> in the classroom\u00a0or library for example, there is still something exciting about examining this technology and seeing the potential positive impact it could have on learning.<\/p>\n

While there are no doubt other benefits to use this technology, we mivielab<\/strong> experts think that\u00a0VR technologies<\/u>\u00a0will have a positive impact in the areas of inspiring\u00a0wonder and curiosity<\/u>, developing\u00a0new creative skills<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and offering authentic\u00a0\u201clearn by doing\u201d experiences<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Judging from the work that is being done in education around VR though,\u00a0we feel that the most powerful learning experiences are those that foster community and collaboration, and empower the user to empathise.<\/p>\n

Its gentle way of introducing VR into the classroom has an appealing and believable proposition of “going” somewhere where you can’t take your students. It is arguable that this may not be the most innovative use of VR in an education setting but it definitely gets educators on board with the technology, and through its ease of use gets them thinking about its potential to enhance learning. Thank you for reading.<\/p>\n
