Overview
Virtual reality (VR) refers to a computer-generated simulation in which a student can interact within an artificial three-dimensional environment using electronic devices, such as special goggles with a screen or gloves fitted with sensors.
Using VR gives teachers the chance to create visualisations that are not possible in the traditional classroom, which in turn create student interest and engagement.
This resource will allow students to experience different facilities and services around City of Wolverhampton College and practise their English and maths skills.
Scenarios

- Ask if a computer is available to use
