Project leader: Dr. Alžběta Šašinková
The project aims at the possibilites of innovative use of virtual reality (VR) in a novel context: in active collaboration in a virtual environment to enhance community building, which should enrich distance learning programmes by a social dimension they typically lack. This expectedely results in a decrease in drop-out rates.
Validation of the influence of collaborative VR on developing a social connectedness among distance programmes students;
Building and designing a VR toolbox for community development of distance learners
Create a network of academic institutions offering distance learning programmes that are willing to employ VR for raising social cohesion among the students, and potentially collaborate within or outside Czechia.
The project responds to the essential issues related to distance learning through digital technologies, which is becoming increasingly important. A number of tools and tutorials are available for the transfer and validation of knowledge, the gamification of the learning process or group work during lessons, the development of which was necessitated by the pandemic.
However, the topic of community building, healthy relationships and the development of learners' social capital, which is crucial for higher education, is still a sore spot in digital education that cannot be easily healed. If VR technology can be implemented in distance education, we can expect digital education to move closer to traditional education in aspects where it lags behind.
