  • Conrad Tucker, an assistant professor of engineering at Pennsylvania State University, has received funding to build a virtual engineering lab where students hold, rotate and fit together virtual parts as they would with their real hands
  • One question his project aims to answer is whether students learn as well in VR as they do in real classrooms, or whether without being physically present with their classmates, they miss out on developing intangible skills such as teamwork
  • The same year saw the University of British Columbia experiment with a full lecture in VR. Five students were given an earlier version of the Oculus Rift headset and sat in a virtual classroom where they watched a gaming lawyer deliver a lecture

    "Flipping the classroom is particularly beneficial for women and students with low grades, according to a new study by researchers at Yale University and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The findings emerge from five years' worth of data gathered from an upper-level biochemistry course first taught in a traditional setting, then flipped. Students in the flipped sections of the course scored 12 percent higher on exams than students in sections that used lectures, and the flipped sections also showed less of a gap between the exam scores earned by male and female students. Students with the lowest overall grade point averages appeared to benefit the most from flipping the classroom. The study appears in the December issue of CBE -- Life Sciences Education, a journal of the American Society for Cell Biology."
