My understanding of Virtual Reality (VR) evolved over the past week, which \u201cenergized\u201d me to keep learning more. Thank you, Team Yellow, for incorporating the VR activity, which prompted me to carve out time in my schedule to try two VR software\/hardware options. I\u2019ll share this unflattering picture of me from the trial and some VR learning reflections.<\/p>\n

As for the most surprising thing I learned, I was surprised about feeling nauseated while using one VR software program. I have members in my family who get ill while riding in vehicles, but that isn\u2019t me. I was shocked! I went into the experience fully expecting to be able to experience the whole VR program from start to finish, which was not the case with one program. Interestingly, my colleague struggled in this instance as well. However, the VR program that worked well involved me standing in one place. As a result, I now know VR stationary programs are the most likely for procurement consideration.<\/p>\n

In my professional practice, I envision using VR as a supplemental active learning tool for students. When courses are being designed, VR can be included in the list of learning resources to explore. During our synchronous discussion, I mentioned that engaging with learning beyond a textbook was impactful for retention in my educational journey.<\/p>\n

To close, more research on best practices for incorporating VR learning experiences is required on my end. My colleagues shared some books to help me get started. The first two books are located at the RRU library if you are interested in exploring more too:<\/p>\n
