Challenges/Needs:

Technology - The virtual experience requires special equipment with a stable Wi-Fi connection and technical support to proceed smoothly.

Pedagogy - It may be challenging for students to visualise and design learning activities using mobile technologies merely by lectures.

Space - Only a physical space equipped with all the necessary facilities and settings would make the virtual learning experience more interactive and engaging.

EVALUATION

Instructor’s reflective comments:

Using different kinds of EdTech indeed enhanced students’ motivation to learn and made the teaching more effective. Students engaged in the course more rapidly compared with the traditional teaching and learning models. When introducing the CoSpaceEdu (VR), students were stimulated to think about how this technology could cope with their future teaching needs. Games in teaching would certainly make the lesson more interesting. Students were more proactive in learning and were motivated to explore more possibilities with these kinds of technology.
