The document discusses using virtual reality, 360 degree video, and gamification techniques to make learning more engaging. It provides examples of how these technologies are being used in education, such as virtual field trips and creating immersive learning experiences. The document then describes a proposed student challenge that uses a 360 degree video about different countries to create an educational game where students compete to correctly complete maps by collecting labels within time limits. The game aims to incorporate elements of chance, challenge, competition and feedback to motivate learning.

storytelling and gamification

5. Why is Learning Teaching Different Today?
Human beings have a desire to learn and develop from the moment they are born.
Exploration, trial and error, testing the world around us, being in control are in our DNA
We used to rely on teachers to provide knowledge and understanding but today we have technology
Teaching used to be standard for everyone to prepare us for a job for life
Today teaching has to be personalised, student-centred to prepare us for a rapidly changing world
Many jobs that need human skills today will not exist in a few years

6. Technology has Changed Everything
The teacher is a guide / coach / mentor
Learning is self-directed, 24/7 anytime, anywhere activity
The flipped classroom idea (students as teachers)
Education as a preparation for life challenges (not for
remembering facts)
Gamification used as a strategy to engage and motivate –
Play with Purpose

7. What are Most Popular/significant
Technologies for Learning Today?
Laptops / Computers (portable, accessible)
Mobile phones (portable, accessible, easy to access)
Internet (Google, social media)
Video Games (test and develop skills, fun to use)
Cloud computing and artificial intelligence (24/7, personal)
Virtual Reality and 360 Degree Imaging

8. Why Virtual Reality and 360 Imaging?
Total Immersion (like
being there)
Chance to explore and
discover
Puts learner in control
Fun experience
Foundation for
storytelling and games-
based learning

9. The Impact of VR Experience
Latest Generation Camera Technologies
Smartphones and Cheap VR Headsets
make 360 degree worlds accessible
