Watching a video in class would not have given everyone an individualized experience. The VR really let the student get closer to the main character and experience her life in a refugee camp. I prepared specific questions on the video so students&#8217; attention could be guided before even starting the video and we all debriefed together so their individualized experience could be shared together. At the semester debrief, students suggested that I should add more VR experiences in future iterations of the class, as it really helped them understand the reality of refugee camps and thought it would put a clearer picture of life in developing nations. Overall, it was an awesome experience! &#8221;\n\nSophie Le Blanc &#8211; Adjunct Instructor, Institute for Politics and Strategy\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Educator Sophie Le Blanc invited her class on The Politics of Developing Nations to the Global Languages &amp; Cultures Room to use the technology&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[16,15,11],"class_list":["post-162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-course-curriculum","tag-unvr","tag-vr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":187,"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162\/revisions\/187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenner.dotsandspaces.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
