LMS Benefits for Using VR & AR Technology

VR technology allows students to experience course material in a more immersive and interactive way. An important advantage of using VR in the classroom is that it allows students to visualize complex concepts and ideas that may be difficult to understand using traditional teaching methods. Here students can use VR to interact with 3D models and simulations, which can help them understand difficult concepts and solve problems in a more intuitive way.

Furthermore, VR technology also provides an interactive and immersive way of remote learning. With the current situation of the pandemic, VR is one of the most efficient ways to make distance learning feels more interactive and engaging. Students can be in different locations but still attend the same class, and teachers can provide a more realistic and engaging experience with the use of VR.

A report by Deloitte Insights states that VR training can lead to up to 9 times more engagement as compared to traditional training methods.

Hence, the use of VR in LMS allows teachers to create interactive and engaging learning experiences that can help to keep students engaged and motivated. This can lead to increased student participation, and overall better learning outcomes.

VR technology also enables the creation of interactive and immersive assessments which can provide valuable insights into students’ learning progress, enabling educators to adjust their teaching strategies accordingly.

By integrating VR technology into LMS, teachers and students have access to a vast collection of educational resources such as videos, simulations, and virtual tours, that can further enhance the learning experience.

VR headsets and other equipment can be expensive, and many organizations and educational institutions may not have the budget to purchase and maintain the necessary equipment.

VR technology can also be challenging to set up and maintain, particularly for trainers who may not be experienced with the technology. They may need to invest time and resources into learning how to use and troubleshoot VR equipment.

There are also concerns about the impact of VR on student health and wellbeing. Prolonged use of Virtual Reality equipment can cause motion sickness and eye strain, which may make it difficult for some students to participate in VR-based learning activities.
