Description:
Virtual Reality (VR) is an innovative and game-changing technology that presents exciting possibilities for teaching and learning. With its unique ability to provide immersive and interactive experiences that are often impossible to replicate in traditional classrooms, it has the potential to transform the way we approach education.

This learning technology demonstration will explore the potential benefits of VR technology in education using the FrameVR platform. This cutting-edge virtual environment enables educators and learners to easily create and share immersive experiences in unique environments, providing a new level of engagement and interactivity in the learning process.

During the session, attendees will have the opportunity to experience FrameVR firsthand. They will interact with virtual objects and participate in whole-group and self-directed breakout room discussions. We will also discuss the pedagogical implications of using VR in courses, for academic poster sessions and virtual meetups.

We will also address the challenges and limitations of using VR in education.
