Innovation in Virtual Teaching Training: Virtual Reality Treasure Hunt
摘要
The work carried out for the XXX Argentine Congress of Computer Sciences (CACIC 2024) [20] is taken as a basis, where the experience carried out in November 2023 by the National University of the Northwest of the Province of Buenos Aires is reported. The First Virtual Camp on Digital Education was organized, an innovative initiative for teacher training that brought together twenty-three participants. The activities were designed to enhance digital skills, highlighting the adaptation to hybrid teaching environments. The objectives of the event included familiarization with digital tools, the development of effective pedagogical strategies and the promotion of collaboration between teachers. The platforms used allowed for the creation and sharing of virtual reality spaces in an accessible and collaborative way, facilitating real-time interactions and the personalization of content. The experience promoted skills such as spatial orientation, problem solving and teamwork. In addition, it offered a safe environment to face frustrations and anxieties, stimulating creativity in the design of educational activities. This resulted in the ability to work with abstract concepts visually, carry out educational simulations, promote active and personalized learning, and encourage peer collaboration. In this context, the Virtual Reality Treasure Hunt game, the subject of this article, and an educational Escape Room were implemented. This work expands on what was presented for CACIC 2024.
