Has anyone experimented with virtual reality in remote classrooms to build deeper emotional connections? I’m curious about the physiological and psychological impacts of VR in education.

I’ve used VR to simulate historical events, and it seriously enhanced the engagement levels of students. They were more emotionally invested, but I’m still unsure about the long-term effects on connection. Anyone else have data on this?

Interesting! VR seems like a double-edged sword. While it can enhance learning experiences, could it potentially isolate students further by substituting real interactions with virtual ones?

I’ve read a study indicating students using VR in remote classes exhibited a 30% increase in empathetic understanding. It was by the University of Melbourne, focusing on empathy development through role-playing in diverse cultural settings.
