VR headsets are the most stimulating method of learning out there! But what makes VR such a vital tool for education is how it enhances learning and memory recall. Immersing in virtual locations helps us organize and remember information spatially. This is because you associate the information with visual features in the environment. We also require less cognitive load to process it all.
Unimersiv VR takes students on a journey back through time, helping them visualize the places they’re learning about – perfect for history lessons! You can travel on-board the Titanic, the international space station or to ancient Rome. The visually appealing tours give students a better understanding of historical events/places in an effective and entertaining manner. It’s also a very useful tool for teachers when having to explain specific content that matches the experiences in the app
Interestingly ‘Unimersiv VR’ has a VR classroom where teachers can present their own courses via a virtual avatar using PowerPoint slides and audio recordings. Whether this part of the app is engaging enough for students is uncertain. This is as it’s essentially recreating traditional teaching methods in VR.
