Image: private

The event highlighted both the opportunities and challenges of using virtual reality in initial and further teacher training. Using examples from virtual classrooms developed at the University of Kassel and school practice, it was shown how VR simulations can contribute to the development of professional skills in prospective teachers.

The event was part of the "Bildung.Digital.Denken - Balkongespräche zur Medienbildung" series, which combines scientific impulses with practical insights and opportunities for exchange in the context of digital transformation.
