Hello everyone!
We have received positive feedbacks from Nokia and Facebook: they are excited about the project and think that VR education platform is a really good idea. That's inspiring!
And what is your opinion on VR education? Imagine that you could learn history or physics through VR experiences - what do you think about this possibility? Is it the future of education? Do you have some expectations, opinions or your past experience to share?
We are opened to your thoughts and discussion!
It is definitely necessary to develop, at least for the natural sciences. Children will find it much more interesting to study nature or astronomy, for example
So, the first experiences to create should be natural sciences? Another interesting idea of the platform is to use VR education to avoid subjective factor - to learn history from different points of view, with a chance to look through main historical events, for example. What do you think about these possibilities?
History is one of the natural sciences btw...
But learn it from different points of view... It's a dubious idea.
I don't think that it would be good to study the Second World War from the point of view of Germany, for example
Sure, it's natural sciences - that's why I mentioned history)
On one hand, you are right, and there will be an option to vote for the experiences ITO-participants prefer more to be chosen for the platform. On the other hand, I can doubt your quote: it can be really useful for people to know about the prehistory of the Second World War from the perspective of Germany because it can help to develop critical thinking. Now we know the consequences of that chosen regime, but for people, at that time it was like "white is black" and "black is white": it can be really useful to learn how to recognize the truth. So, such experiences have to be properly explained.
But don't you have in mind some historical events that you would like to see from other's perspective?)
