Project background

The possibilities of virtual technology in education are growing, but teachers do not always have the knowledge or skills to use these tools in their everyday work. The project set out to renew teaching by offering easy ways to adopt extended reality and integrate virtual solutions into learning. The need was clear: teachers needed practical support, and students benefited from more diverse ways to learn.

Project objectives

• For teachers:
  • Improve the ability to use virtual reality and extended reality applications in their teaching.
  • Encourage experimentation with simple virtual solutions to enrich lessons.

• For students:
  • Offer new ways to learn and develop virtual skills.
  • Provide opportunities to practice individual and group tasks in three-dimensional environments.

• For upper secondary education (general upper secondary schools):
  • Support the goals of different subjects with versatile methods based on virtual technology.
  • Bring working life closer to students through virtual learning solutions.

Project Activities

• Organized three training programmes with a total of 75 participating teachers.
• Introduced easy-to-use virtual applications and guided teachers in trying them out in practice.
• Trained participants to design their own learning modules that make use of virtual technology.
• Conducted exercises and meetings in three-dimensional virtual environments.
• Published participants’ plans describing teaching experiments that made use of virtual methods.
