Using VR in Learning and Teaching

Cocking, Chris (2011) Using VR in Learning and Teaching. Investigations in university teaching and learning, 7. pp. 113-124. ISSN 1740-5106

Abstract

This paper investigates the use of a Virtual Reality (VR) simulation (The Underground Station Evacuation Simulator- USES) that was initially developed to explore mass emergency behaviour experimentally (see Drury & Cocking, 2007). However, since January 2009, I have been using the USES to teach Research Methods to 1st year Undergraduate Psychology Students, and realised that it can also be useful in teaching students about theories relating to the psychology of crowd behaviour. Therefore, I investigated the effectiveness of the USES as a teaching tool to explore its potential educational benefits.
