What the Amazon Can’t Deliver: Lessons Learned from Virtual Reality-Based Sustainability Education
摘要
With Virtual Reality technology becoming an increasingly popular method to convey knowledge, sound pedagogical principles are needed to implement Virtual Reality effectively in classrooms. This paper proposes a pedagogical model that provides guidelines for educational practitioners before, during, and after Virtual Reality instruction. For elucidation, concrete examples as well as generative learning tasks are provided. These are based on a Virtual Reality learning experience developed by greenpeace and its evaluation studies. Finally, some general strengths and weaknesses of the proposed model are discussed.
