A few years ago concept of VR was a sci-fi concept for most of the people but now virtual reality is changing the education sector in different ways.
FREMONT, CA: Virtual reality is playing a crucial role in reshaping several industries, including medicine, real estate and education in academic settings. VR is reshaping the education industry in different ways by providing modern tools to the teachers and students to make the learning process smoother.
Here are some of the benefits of virtual reality in the education sector:
• VR Unlocks a New Dimension of Learning
Virtual reality changes the old dimension of teaching and learning and creates a new one. Earlier, teachers had to face the problem of looking at two-dimensional images and requiring students to understand relationships three-dimensionally, but now with the help of VR, teachers can easily explain 3-d images. VR engages students more as it enables the professor to teach in an exciting way.
• VR Can Stop Classroom Smartphone Distraction
According to a survey, most of the students spent a fifth of their time in the classroom using their mobile devices for the activities not relevant to their academic work. On average, they check smartphones 11.43 times. But if they will get engaged to VR software, they will stop wasting time by using smartphones.
• Eliminates Language Barriers
In today’s multicultural societies, language differences can be challenging. If any person wants to study in a foreign country, they have to learn a foreign language to be able to understand the material if they are taught in another language. With virtual reality, there will be no language barrier because language translation can be built into the software. VR visualizations can be experienced in any language.
• Outstanding Visualizations
In traditional classrooms, students were not provided with a platform to explore different realities and never had an alternative learning experience. VR creates an atmosphere where students can easily explore different realities. More than that, wearing a VR headset, students can experience high-quality educational visualizations that have a positive impact on the whole learning process.
With the help of VR, students can easily understand complex concepts, theories, and subjects. On average, a person can only remember 30% of information what they hear and 20% of what they hear. But if they get this information through personal experience, they retain up to 90% of it. VR technology helps students to learn effectively.
