Ubiquitous Learning and Instructional Technologies MOOC’s Updates

An example of a learning technology

One impactful learning technology is virtual reality (VR) in education. VR immerses learners in realistic, three-dimensional environments, offering hands-on experiences that traditional methods cannot replicate. This technology revolutionizes learning dynamics by enhancing engagement and understanding. For instance, students studying history can virtually explore historical sites, making the past come alive. In medical education, VR allows students to practice surgeries in a risk-free environment. The experiential nature of VR promotes active learning, improving retention and application of knowledge. By providing immersive and interactive experiences, VR transforms the learning landscape, making education more captivating, memorable, and effective for a wide range of subjects and disciplines.
