Benefits of Augmented & Virtual Reality in Education
1. Improves Student Engagement
Schools and teachers generally face the challenge of low student engagement which is smartly managed by using AR-VR technology. Teachers can include immersive and interactive content i.e. images and visual scenarios to engage children. Using such interactive elements, it becomes easy to kindle child’s curiosity by securing their involvement and providing them with the best practices to remember the acquired knowledge.
2. Better Understanding of Concepts
Giving a better understanding of the topic was not possible in the traditional teaching methods but it is now possible with AR/VR. Students get a clear 360-degree view of the images which makes it easy to understand and learn. VR supports conceptual learning methods by presenting dynamic visualization and representations.
3. Integrating Learning with Gamification
Using these technologies, students can emerge themselves in a fun and interactive learning process through multiple games. Providing students an opportunity to play where they can participate boost student learning and engagement and allow them to think beyond their imaginations. Moreover, the badges, points, and other awards through games generate intrinsic motivation among students of all ages.
4. Generates Multi-Sensory Experiences
By multi-sensory experience, we mean that all the senses of the students will be targeted parallelly. Unlike traditional learning methods, students do not just indulge in learning or reading experiences rather they are engaged through their hearing capability, vision, and touch. Such techniques excellently inspire and excite students to adopt concepts effectively. Examples- Using AR-VR, students can even hold the apple, feel it and even count the seeds inside the apple.
5. Offers Distraction Free Learning
AR VR creates a virtual environment that is distraction-free. In such an environment students can even concentrate, memorize and gain concepts in a better way. This is exactly what virtual reality can deliver to students and educators alike. Students who experience learning in VR have displayed higher scores on exams and tend to retain concepts better. Virtual reality has the potential to revolutionize the way the world knows.
With VR, students can explore a limitless world of knowledge, engaging with lessons interactively and memorably.
