Towards increasing adoption of online VR in higher education
Ekaterina Prasolova‐Førland, José Garcia Estrada · 2021
The COVID-19 outbreak triggered an increased and sudden need for adopting either fully digital or hybrid approaches to teaching. At the same time, the use of ‘traditional’ digital technology for teaching has several barriers and difficulties. Our experience teaching remotely during the pandemic led us to reflect on the combination of digital tools and online VR environments for higher education. In this paper we discuss the use of an online browser-based VR platform, Mozilla Hubs. We reflect on our experience and propose guidelines for educators based on what we learned.
