As technology advances, new technologies
emerge and a new ways of learning are being introduced to us. Studies
demonstrated that multimedia can provide a very effective teaching and
learning environment in such a way that the learning style preferences
(visual, aural, text and kinaesthetic) of the learners are taken into
consideration.
These studies indicate that the visual
features play a very important role in understanding the concepts. As
this necessitates creating new richer visual learning environments, we
have to migrate into Virtual Reality (VR) educational multimedia system.
The goal of VR is to enhance, motivate
and stimulate students of certain events and at the same time it also
allows for students to experience hands on learning. But what is more
appealing in regards to VR in education is the fact that it can be used
to simulate and allow learners to practice procedures without the risk involved.
This can be applied in experiments that
have proven to be difficult to carried out in traditional instructional
environments, where teaching students regarding safety procedures; and
in medical education without involving the safety of a real patient.
Based on the comments and feedback
received from various students, it was concluded that virtual reality
multimedia could enhance learning by providing much more realistic
images and visual features. In addition, students found that the virtual
reality multimedia teaching is very effective in terms of ease of
learning and it’s very close relationship with the real world.
