2020 has been a year of technological revolution. With the outbreak of COVID 19 and putting the entire world in a state of vulnerability, the technological sector is the only sector that saw immense growth.
It became a momentous year where all major events and changes took place. Due to the health crisis and the impact of coronavirus, millions of people got used to remote learning and working. Therefore, a massive surge of online education and virtual reality products took place, developing the way for more technological development with time.
Virtual Reality And Education
VR has now changed from what we used to experience in video games, as it has entered the entire digital space, including the use of virtual reality in education. With headsets getting smaller and mobile phones getting more intelligent, VR technology has become widely accessible. 5G phones have made it possible to access this virtual realm from everywhere.
This increased accessibility has allowed VR to be a feasible option for schools. Bringing VR to the classrooms has created many opportunities for teachers and students to approach education experiences like never before. The current approach, that is, the traditional approach to education, comes with two significant problems:
* Based On Fact Retention Model
Teaching methods should be focusing on providing facts. However, having access to and consuming a lot of information without understanding it isn’t learning. Being informed is not similar to being educated.
* Difficult To Comprehend Information
Significant amounts of information received in a short amount of time tend to overwhelm students. As a result, they become bored and usually get unsure about learning a particular topic.
