Design Opportunities & Challenges in VR Education
The future of VR in education is very exciting and full of potential. We are just at the dawn of this powerful technology, and designing for VR is full of challenges that we should be ready to overcome.
5 key Factors of good VR learning experiences
VR experiences in education should have following properties:
- Immersive. Designers should strive to create the feeling that users are in an experience. For example, if you develop a history app, make history come alive for students.+
- Easy to use. Eliminate the need to have special skills to interact with a VR app.+
- Meaningful. Meaning is really important for students. You can’t create a good VR learning experience without a good story. That’s why it so important to advance the art of storytelling. Stories quite simply provide the best vehicle for delivering messages that are not only heard and understood, but that also inspire and elicit action.+
- Adaptable. As Albert Einstein once said, “I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.” VR experiences should allow students to explore at their own pace. The app should provide complete control over the level of difficulty. Designers should establish how students learn and then use this knowledge to design VR products that allow effective learning.+
- Measurable. Each educational tool should provide measured impact. Teachers should be able to track the metrics of education so they can measure the resulting knowledge of a subject. When designing VR experiences, it’s essential to choose appropriate metrics and make it clear what criterium will be used to measure success and failure.
