Virtual reality has become accessible through Google Cardboard (~$30), mobile apps, and Youtube 360 degree videos. Here are some ideas on how virtual reality can be implemented into a education program now and in the coming future:
  • Assessing your lessons with greater fields of view.
  • Watching demonstration videos that offer more viewing angles.
  • Taking students on virtual field trips to athletic events and sites.
  • Taking a guided tour of the human body and its inner systems.
  • Providing meditation and stress management type applications.
  • Social and emotional learning applications and teaching empathy.
  • Simulate teaching experiences in teacher education programs.
  • Help students get over their fears (ie. fear of heights and other phobias).
  • Increase motivation and performance during exercise.
  • Special Education applications.
  • Teambuilding apps.
  • Practicing presentations to a virtual audience.
  • Learning tactical decisions through simulations.
  • Use in driver's education (texting example and drunk driving example).
  • Taking a tour of the school facilities for students, parents, and teachers.
  • Creating recruitment videos for your program (example from a university).
