Students' usability of VR module by Emily Tan https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks Question 2: How does the VR experience compare with classroom experience you have had, for example learning with a textbook or from a teacher-led presentation? en-us 2022-02-21 06:26:32 UTC 2022-05-23 07:58:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058517998 (Leeroy) Well, I think its really based on personal preference as for me i prefer using books because it just helps me cope up better.Although I prefet books I do find this method(teacher-led presentation) very effective and it's also easy to understand and absorb knowledge.. So here's why i prefer learning via books. Using a textbook as a learning tool has been applied for decades now and i find it that people have gotten used to it and so have I... I find it more direct and personal overall both methods is good its all about personal preference ]]> 2022-02-21 10:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058517998 Rayniell Lua https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058520385 The VR experience is definitely more interesting and better compared to the traditional classroom experience by using a textbook. This is because I'm given the opportunity to use electronic products such as smartphones and VR boxes in class. It also gives me a better and wider view towards the topic that I learnt. So VR experience is a better way for me to learn, as most schools do not allow students to use electronic products in the class and just using the old way, which is by just listening to the teacher teaching and looking at the textbook... ]]> 2022-02-21 10:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058520385 (Adian) VR Classroom Experience captadian https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058520840 I believe in my humble opinion, that learning in VR Classroom could get a bit confusing at times and would require more assistance from fellow friends and teachers on specific websites & programmes. Though, I find it quite hard to maneuver around, I've learnt a lot from the VR experience than normal online class presentations. For instance, we are able to communicate with many platforms such as youtube and can easily be represented.

In conclusion:
Maybe it is due to the fact that we are still uncanny to the online VR classroom. But if we were taught about all this programmes, websites and applications at an earlier age (lets say 10 years old). It would be much easier for them to understand all of it. I fully believe that VR Classroom could and will be a thing in the near future, but now (with this generation/07's, its a bit too late)..

It does improve the process of learning because of the immersive experiences.

It would be effective in certain scenarios if I were to adapt to it . ]]> 2022-02-21 10:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058528495 (Gabriel) https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058536673 I think it is irrefutable that the VR experience is the best learning experience compared to the classroom experience. Teachers always use textbooks in classrooms which is just dull. Let's use the science subject as the prime example. Sometimes students need to see and visualize a concept in order to fully understand it instead of just staring at a 2D picture. With VR, students can interact and explore how a concept works, the human digestive system for example. Of course, VR is not limited to the subject of science, maths, for instance, is also a subject that requires more VR attention, specifically in the field of geometry. Students can easily look through different 3D shapes and understand how their formulas were derived, thus revealing the beauty of maths instead of hindering it by asking students to memorize them rigidly. In a nutshell, VR provides a more comprehensive and fun experience compared to the textbook-based experience.]]> 2022-02-21 10:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058536673 Narresh https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058540369 I think the VR experience will be more effective because it is interesting and students will not get bored easily.

It is because not everyone likes the VR experiences but there are also students who likes the old classroom textbook way. Some can't really focus on VR experience because they need to actually go to school ( not their comfort zone ) to learn so that they are able to focus without the influence of electronic devices as nowadays people are really attracted to it.]]> 2022-02-21 12:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058692892 Low Wenxi https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058697475 I will prefer VR experience because it is interesting and I won’t get bored easily.Besides,it is more realistic compared to pictures in the textbooks.]]> 2022-02-21 12:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058697475 Tan Yin Dong https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058698385 I will prefer learning from a textbook because i feel easier using textbook and for vr we can't use it for a long period as it will spoil our eyes .]]> 2022-02-21 12:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058698385 Dheepak's Commentary https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058701636 I feel VR Learning is definitely an amazing idea to add in education. I am an old-school person and still prefer to use a book rather than an e-book. But I wouldn't say VR is lesser or greater than old-fashion learning. I feel it could go hand-in-hand with it. But it is also someone's personal preference whether they opted to use a book or VR or any other sources of learning. VR has also shown me the capability of technology and I am very pleased by it. In other words, VR is good and it's an amazing experience but not everyone will like it and prefer different resources. So it's entirely up to the individual ]]> 2022-02-21 12:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058701636 Chong Wen Xi https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058717131 Learning either by textbook or VR is both learning, the only difference between is the method of learning. Besides, whether which method is better, VR or Textbook? It's up to personal opinions. Some students prefers VR as they do not need to face a dull thick textbook for the entire morning. In the other hand, some others might like the old traditional textbook and the teacher standing in front teaching on the white board. 

For myself, I personally prefer the old textbook as me myself loves interaction between classmates. In VR, you interact with a device that brings you to a fake world. Although you are able to see yourself touching objects but you yourself know it clear that it is not real. Some might find it interesting, but some will think the same as me. In classrooms, the atmosphere is always different with using VR for study. I feel lonely with no friends inside the virtual world, even though some characters in VR are programmed to speak and interact with the user, but the feeling and atmosphere is never the same.]]> 2022-02-21 12:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2058717131 Sarvveshvaran Gunapalan https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2063651506 The way students learn hasn’t evolved much throughout the course of history. Fact retention teaching has long been the traditional approach to education. Studying for tests, sitting in lectures, and trying to visualize history through a textbook constitute the typical classroom experience.

However, the introduction of VR has made it possible for students to experience their education in more immersive and engaging ways. VR can transport students from their desks to the Roman ruins, let them mix volatile chemicals and see the reaction without being physically harmed, and allow them to not only see but interact with virtual worlds.

As a result, the teacher’s role is shifted from delivering content to facilitating learning. “Teachers will be focused on creating conditions for exploring, rather than providing ready-made knowledge,” according to Prof. Sarvvesh.


VR will benefit students in six ways in the class room:

  1. Better sense of place: Students can learn about a subject by living it rather than reading about in a dull and thick textbook.
  2. Learning experiences at scale:School can create virtual labs to cut costs and increase accessibility for students to learn rather than sitting in the classroom all day.
  3. Learning by doing: Students can learn by performing tasks instead of simply reading a textbook.Students can easily memorize something by doing it rather than reading about it.
  4. Emotional reaction: Educators make memorable experiences for students to increase their retention and students will be more inspired and interested to study.
  5. Creative development: Technology such as Tilt Brush increases opportunity for students to be creative in the classroom and they can use these skills when the venture into the bussiness world.
  6. Visual learning:Schools can increase visual learners’ comprehension of educational content as visuals learners prefer to learn by seeing motion pictures and not words in books as they get bored just by reading books only.

For me, I feel that studying with a book helps us better to understand and memories our studies. VR learning can be more fun and interactive, but at the same time, you cannot use the VR very long because it will make u feel dizzy. You will damage your eyes if you stare at them for a long time as its really close to your eyes. It would be much better if the teacher. At this point, I feel that teachers using a whiteboard is irreplaceable for now as writing down things is one of the best ways to memories your studies.]]> 2022-02-24 01:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2063677125 Poh Jun Yi https://padlet.com/waiyingtan/Bookmarks/wish/2063681391 I will prefer VR experience because it is more interesting.
