In recent years, the world has experienced online style of schooling. In case of bad weather conditions or pandemic events like COVID-19, schools and universities changes to online form of instruction. Tools like Zoom call or Google Meet were used. These tools, although being a significant tool for enabling remote learning, pose problems such as reduced attention, interruptions, restricted involvement, screen fatigue, lack of interaction and teacher burnout. Virtual reality technologies are promising to effectively enrich our daily lives. Enhancing learning experiences with virtual reality technologies is one of important paths to make the technologies affect our daily lifestyle, because students in classes need not come together in the same spot. With the use of virtual reality (VR), students may attend lessons from anywhere at any time, feeling as though they are in the same classroom. Moreover, virtual reality technologies can bring extra effects that cannot be reproduced in current virtual class rooms. The study suggests VR Classroom that offers a virtual place where students and a teacher virtually remain in the same spot. VR Classroom also includes numerous options to inspire students through engaging features.
