Enhancing learning through the creation of practices by incorporating videos and Virtual Reality (VR) in educational activities to encourage independent learning in a flipped classroom approach.
This project enhances learning by blending videos and Virtual Reality (VR) in education, fostering independent learning in a flipped classroom model. The multimedia approach empowers students, creating dynamic, immersive experiences for better understanding and retention. By combining videos and VR, traditional teaching methods are revolutionized, promoting active learning and student autonomy.

Design and Development of Computer-simulated Field Experience Lab
The computer simulation will provide a kindergarten environment for the player to familiarize with teaching in front of a group of simulated children. Some special interactive challenges will be divided into several episodes. Each episode will capture elements of what typically transpire in a kindergarten. Some episodes will also simulate events that do not typically occur but that players should experience as part of their teacher education training.
