REVEALING - REalisation of Virtual rEality LearnING Environments (VRLEs) for Higher Education

Studies have demonstrated the capacity of VRLEs to enhance the student learning process and course learning outcomes, mainly due to their positive impact on student performance and engagement. Any...

We wanted to achive the following objectives: 1) Design and implement VRLEs tailored to HEI needs. 2) Author a manual with comprehensive guidelines on how to effectively utilize VRLE affordances to set up university lectures as well as a Toolkit to support them. 3) Upskill HEI teaching staff and students in the use of innovative technology-enabled educational approaches (Multiplier events + training activities)

We established 3 project results: 1) Modelling of Virtual Reality Learning Environments: The technical requirements for the use of the VRChat applications were developed and set up by the colleagues in Greece. All VR-learning scenarios have been developed. 2) Creating a Manual for VR-powered lessons: The virtual learning environments for the training have been as described in the manual. The manual has been translated 3) Creating a VRLE Resource Directory We organized 3 in person project meetings: The first kick-off meeting in Mainz took place in September 2022 (M1), the second Transnational Partner Meeting in Rhodes took place in September 2023 (M2) and the Final Partners Meeting in Nicosia took place in July 2024 (M3). The LTTA 'Training Activity of HEI Teachers' in Rhodes took place in September 2023. All Multiplier Events have been held as well as the Final virtual conference. Originally, we have planned 6 events, but in the end we organized 8 events (without additional budget). Additionally we prepared the following: - Quality Assurance Plan, Riskmanagement Plan and Dissemination Plan - Dissemination activities overview - Website (revealing-project.eu) has been set up as well as a project presentation on Facebook. - A joint scientific paper on the use of VR in university lectures - Exploitation plan - Revealing Final Evaluation Report All documents are attached (see Annexes).
