“Education is a powerful driver of development and
one of the strongest instruments for reducing
poverty and improving health, gender equality,
peace, and stability“

“Although there has been great progress in the last
decade, 250 million children cannot read or write
although many have been to school“

“Providing all children with a quality education that
teaches them skills for work is critical to end poverty

“. Skills, and skills
development, are an
essential component
of all efforts in this
challenging area.
Too many workers
are simply
unprepared to meet
the needs of firms,
particularly in more
competitive
economic
environments “

“Over the next few decades demand in the top
layer of the labour market may well centre on
individuals with high abstract reasoning, creative,
and interpersonal skills that are beyond most
workers, including graduates“

Education is about
to become more
interactive, more
fun, and more
social. Specifically in
the way that “new
advanced
technologies and
methodologies” will
improve learning
and teaching
processes with the
aim of VR/AR

The success of a complex and innovative project like this one,
demands the engagement of a team of reputable, seasoned and
qualified professionals and methodologies guaranteeing the
fulfillment of all targets of the project. The Teachers training
program is a key success factor of the project, including
workshops, seminars and community support.

Using Immersive VR/AR Environments we can place students in any
real world or virtual situation with an active role in proceedings
through various tasks they will need to complete. Situations and
outcomes will dynamically change depending on the students input
and this will keep the student active and engaged throughout the
lesson. From now on, teachers can use these unparalleled learning
experiences to build student mental models and understanding of
STEM ideas with the equipment and connections already in the
classroom.

Students of all ages typically retain between 10% and 30% of that
they read and see. Traditional educational materials fail to inspire
and engage further learning with most students as it forces them
into a form of memory testing rather than retaining knowledge
through practice and experience
Traditional lessons are also taught through ridged structures that
don’t change if repeated. This causes fatigue and boredom with less
student retention.

“With virtual reality (VR) playing an increasing role in reshaping
industries such as tourism, industry simulation, video-games, real
estate and medicine, educators have begun to explore using VR in
academic settings. Schools and Teachers can start this new
immersive experience with SmartEducationLabs in the classroom”

Values & Benefits of
VR/AR for the
Edu-Community

16. one digital consulting © 2017
As it is more actively adopted, VR will increasing be found in educational spaces.
According most relevant Industry and Researches studies, VR will play a
differential factor in the new educational scenario. In fact, about one-third of the
tech-orientated attendees surveyed at the Consumer Electronics Show 2016 think
that education is the area that is most likely to benefit from VR with virtual
classrooms and VR-enabled textbooks.
As VR expands its reach into the educational sector, we must explore the tangible
impacts that this technology will have on both students and educators in our
classrooms. Here we demonstrate some of the definitive benefits of using VR in
the classroom backed by research.

“Adding value to the Smartphone
at the Classroom: A recent study
published in the Journal of Media
Education reported that students
spent a fifth of their time in class
performing activities on their
devices that have nothing to do
with their school work. In fact, the
study found that students check
their digital devices an average of
12 times during class.
Putting those smartphones with
VR/AR technology and using
added value apps, could
potentially eliminate this problem.
Instead of spending idle time on
their phones, students would
instead be required to use them to
engage with VR software for the
lesson of the day.

“Bridging the Attention Gap: Edger Dale’s Cone of Experience has shown that the
average person only remembers 20% of what they hear and 30% of what they
see, but up to 90% of what they personally experience. As a result, VR/AR
educational materials provide the scenario needed to build the attention gap,
helping students to become more attentive during lessons. A meta-analysis done
in 2014 found that students actually do learn better when immersed in virtual
worlds.

19. one digital consulting © 2017
“Eliminating Language Barriers: In today’s multicultural societies, bringing students
together from all different backgrounds is still a challenge due to language
differences. For students that wish to study in another country, traditional
methods of teaching have always required that they achieve sufficient fluency in
order to effectively learn in a classroom where lessons are taught in another
language. With VR/AR, language translation can be implemented within the
software, eliminating language as a significant barrier to a student’s educational
goals.

20. one digital consulting © 2017
“Social Integration of Students: Helping students to connect with their peers is
essential for creating a positive learning environment for students. VR/AR
technology can foster social integration of learners within a classroom
environment by bringing together students who have different learning styles and
needs”

21. one digital consulting © 2017
“Rewarding Students
for their
achievements: Much
of the traditional
approach to
education has made
success neutral while
punishing students for
failures. With VR/AR
apps, content
producers can bring
the gamification
aspects of technology
that have enhanced
other consumer
products to
educational materials.

22. one digital consulting © 2017
Delaying rewards
actually eliminates all
motivating power of
the incentive.
Implementing rewards
systems into VR/AR
educational software
could potentially
deliver significant
results with regard to
student achievements
in previously low-
performing academic
environments.
