Virtual and Augmented Reality in Higher Education: Immersive Experiences for Deep Learning
Abstract
The present study enters a cutting-edge terrain where virtual and augmented reality converge with higher education; it proposes to explore how the integration of virtual and augmented reality can positively impact higher education, promoting deep learning. Through the analysis of case studies and the review of updated literature, we seek to understand how these technologies can revolutionize the way students acquire and apply knowledge in a constantly evolving educational environment. To this end, a literature review was conducted, which involves the compilation and evaluation of existing literature on a specific topic. The results have shown that virtual and augmented reality in higher education has been a topic of interest in recent years especially within the field of social sciences, inferring that virtual reality has emerged as a pioneering pattern that fundamentally alters the way people and computer systems interact.
