RElMaS

• VR could possibly...
• ...enable an education that would take students prior knowledge in account...
• ..where the digital and visual play an important role...
• ..when students develop their understanding of concepts...
• ...and thereby develop their abilities to reason and argue from a standpoint

RElMaS

• ...in different situations that involves interaction with other students ...
• ...are essential to develop a technological literacy
• (= look at different technological problems from different perspectives...
• ..as well as the ability to understand , evaluate and manage technolgy )

• ... that otherwise would be infeasible or to dangerous to undertake in reality

VR

• Stimulate deeper learning
• ...as students are able to explore, immerse and infer their own meaning...
• ...from their experiences within the virtual reality

VR

• Immersion in virtual reality provides opportunities to improve their spatial abilities
• (Kaufmann 2011)

VR

• Students should develp a responsible approach to digital technology ...
• ...while developing capability to see risks and opportunities and be able to to value information...
