News【Trends】VR and AR Technologies in Higher Education

2017.07.11

In "Trends," we will present various topics related to the current form of education that uses Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

You may think of "virtual reality" (or "VR") and "augmented reality" (or "AR") as technologies for entertainment. In recent years, these technologies have been used in various fields of lectures and practical trainings in higher education, such as medical education (see an article titled "3 Ways Med Students Can Use Virtual Reality" by EdTech for more detail). It is likely that they extend experience-based, practical, and immersive learning through these technologies.

This article: "Virtual Reality Coursework Provides Rich Training Ground" by EdTech, which is a website that discusses the relationship between higher education and technology, compiles recent educational practices with VR and AR technologies, such as lectures and training programs in medicine, agriculture, and art.
