Virtual Reality in Curriculum and Pedagogy explores the instructional, ethical, practical, and technical issues related to the integration of immersive virtual reality (VR) in school classrooms. The book’s original pedagogical framework is informed by qualitative and quantitative data collected from the first-ever study to embed immersive VR in secondary school science, ICT, and drama classrooms. Students and scholars of technology-enhancing learning, curriculum design, and teacher education alike will find key pedagogical insights into leveraging the unique properties of VR for authentic, metacognitive, and creative learning.

Reviews for Virtual Reality in Curriculum and Pedagogy: Evidence from Secondary Classrooms

""Southgate plays the role of a pioneer here, in particular everything that requires the collaboration of teachers, students and students in this field.Erica Southgate shows how the use of iVR supports learning processes and that access to VR can lead to independent learning, creativity and promotes collaboration, insofar as students focus on technology and let in the work processes."" -Dipl.-Ing Christoph Bauer, BSc BA MA, Universität Graz
