What about Learning and VR?
Virtual Learning is an
internet-based technology that allows students to step into 3D interactive
environments based on each learning area. It puts students inside of their subjects.
From a PC, tablet or phone, students have a first person, self-guided
experience with their studies.
Virtual Learning provides
students with free, on demand access to powerful visualization systems based on
their schoolwork. Visualization and exploration-based engaged learning software
is a powerful learning experience. As a supplement to traditional schoolwork,
it helps students to see, experience and understand abstract ideas.
Virtual Reality could be one of the world’s most powerful visualization tool to
spur comprehension of complex phenomena. To take a step further there are three basic principles that help everyone to consider Virtual Learning as an essential practice.
EXPERIENTIAL
LEARNING:
Students learn underlying
principles and master necessary behaviors through active experimentation.
Learning in Virtual Learning also can be understood as an everyday field trip
where students are “taken” somewhere to better understand ideas. This approach
is highly engaging and helps students better connect academic concepts to real
life.
SELF-DIRECTED
LEARNING:
The Virtual Learning
program is a facilitator. It sets the stage for self-directed learning. Once
the stage is set, the student may engage it as she chooses.
VISUAL LEARNING:
Dynamic visual
representations of ideas allow students to process greater amounts of
information more efficiently. Half of the human brain is dedicated to
visual processing. Visually, the human brain can process 1,000,000,000
bits/characters per second. When coupled with a student-controlled
environment, students are able to see relationships based on their own actions.
