4. Barriers to Virtual Reality Adoption in Education
• VR is technology-heavy, it’s important that its users – students and
educators alike – are well-versed in using technologies that make it
work.
• Schools that have students who are not as familiar with technologies
that make VR work may find themselves at a disadvantage.
• VR technology can be costly for schools. Oculus Rift headsets are still
priced at around A$540 apiece.
• Content currently available for VR education is limited.

5. Positive Effects of Virtual Reality to Learning
• Reduced apprehension and embarrassment that is usually present in
real-life activities such as role-playing.
• Encouraged interaction between students which were immersed in a
virtual world, rather than just interacting through email and forums.
• Allowed students to explore and gather information independently,
making it easy for students to create their own understanding.
• Increased student motivation and better teamwork & knowledge-
building among students.

6. A Safe Environment for Failures and Mistakes
• In a world where applicable skills and scholarly knowledge is just as important, virtual reality is
slowly solidifying its relevance in learning new skills.
• With apps such as VirtualSpeak, provides a safe space for learners to get used to public
speaking without having to endure shame and judgement whenever a user commits a
mistake.
• Virtual reality provides a student with a room to make mistakes without suffering real-life
consequences, making it easier to try again and achieve mastery through practice.
