Throughout the blended learning, the students will learn the dinosaur’s extinction efficiently and effectively with VR content. The goal of the VR module is to increase students’ motivation of learning history subject and the comprehension skills of dinosaur history. Students will watch lecture video and the simulation in the VR environment. The content is the lecture about two hypotheses of dinosaur extinction: intrinsic gradualist and extrinsic catastrophist. The students can have experience alive dinosaur right in front of them. Another goal is fully understanding the lecture via blended learning. Through online and offline, the students can hear and feel about the dinosaur extinction. For blended learning, the students will have constructionist pedagogy to study themselves in collaborative activity and assessment section. The goal here is increasing awareness of solving the problem through the independent study so that they can enhance memorization and comprehension skills themselves. As a whole, blended learning will help to reach the goal to learn history class precisely because it supplements the drawbacks of teaching history by only technology.
