Creating Educational Digital Artefacts Collaboratively in a Virtual Reality Environment

Abstract

This paper discusses the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies in education and the collaborative creation of educational digital artifacts in a virtual reality environment. The paper presents a case study of students who collaborated creating digital artifacts in a VR environment. The artifacts were designed with the purpose of presenting the history of a local community. The study analyzed the interactions between learners, the effectiveness of the VR environment in facilitating collaboration, and the impact of the VR environment on learning outcomes. The study concludes that creating educational digital artifacts collaboratively in a virtual reality environment can lead to improved student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes.
