VIRTRAIN Virtual Reality in Teaching

The general aim of our project is to construct sound knowledge about why and how to make use of Virtual Reality (VR) for language training in VET context. The targets are all parties who have an interest in promoting or experiencing language learning within vocational schools. In particular, the project focuses on language trainers as well as their counterparts teaching various specialist disciplines within the VET domain.

VIRTRAIN has its main points on mapping the training needs, showing the benefits of VR to the full extent, training the teachers and developing their teaching skills and especially overcome the potential barriers to the use of VR in Teaching and Learning.

Our goal is to tackle the challenge of decreasing people’s attention span that actually the technologies are generally lowering since the use of virtual reality can make students not only more engaged but especially more concentrated.
