Shaping the class of the 21st century – VR, AR, and Gamification!

Course Description

We live in an era where learners shift away from conventional learning approaches. An increasing number of students drop out of school and educators need to consider the traditional mechanics of motivation. Recent technological developments which encompass virtual and augmented reality and gamification offer schools original and innovative ways to engage and excite the student’s desire to learn.
This course investigates the possibilities, challenges, and future of gamification, virtual and augmented reality in education through tested applications and scenarios in various teaching environments. We will see ways in which we can incorporate these elements in various classrooms across subjects and learn the design principles guiding VR and AR.
