Abstract
COVID-19 has suddenly forced colleges and universities to enter a new world of reality. Although distance learning has always been an option for students, those electing for the college experience choose face-to-face learning. Now, with the presence of a pandemic, face-to-face learning has changed and is forcing educators to be more creative in their delivery. Moreover, this disruption in learning has forced academics into the virtual world with their students. Goh and Sanders (2019) claim that education as a whole is increasingly becoming transformed, and with the assistance of new technologies and tools, pedagogical approach and activities are changing. However, learning through virtual reality is not an entirely new concept. Lund and Wang (2019) demonstrated that “virtual reality may significantly improve student engagement and increase student performance” (p. 3). The purpose of this presentation will be to discuss virtual reality, its application to learning and introduce the platform Learnbrite.
