VR Facilitates the Learning Effectiveness

32873


Learning psychologists did a study with 160 students from Stanford University and Technical University in Denmark. They found a 76% increase in the learning effectiveness when using virtual laboratories over traditional teaching methods. The second part of this study investigated what the teachers impact was under learning. What they found was that when you combine the virtual laboratories with real teachers they saw a total 101% percent increase in the learning effectiveness (Bonde et al., 2014).
