Virtual Reality
Virtual reality (VR) is a valuable tool in online courses as it provides an immersive and interactive learning experience that can increase engagement and understanding. VR environments allow learners to experience and interact with course material in a simulated environment, providing a deeper understanding of complex concepts and ideas. This type of hands-on learning can increase motivation and engagement, making the learning process more enjoyable and memorable. VR environments can provide a safe and controlled environment for learners to experiment and test their knowledge and skills, allowing for the practical application of the course material.
