Gamification

It can be said that computer games can have extraordinary favorable cons on learning English. Clearly there are diversions that are made for this reason and they help students acquire the English language.

Applications of Virtual Reality in Education

Virtual Reality is giving a significant leap for various areas of occupations, one of them being "education". I will be mentioning the collobration side of the pros of virtual reality. This is perhaps the most important way VR is being used, because it has implications not only for research and education, but for all of us. Virtual reality is going to change the way we collaborate over distance. The University College of London’s Immersive Virtual Environment demonstrated how interactive virtual avatars can be mapping onto local physical spaces using augmented reality, as has UC Davis. Case Western has been working with Microsoft to prototype collaborative medical applications for the Hololens augmented reality platform. All of the pieces are coming together to see the collaborative promise of virtual reality realized. Application of VR not only facilitates the area of school education, but also as can be seen, areas of medical and military educations.
