Unit 4: Developing Learning Activities Using VR
4.2 Defining your Learning Objectives
Once you find a topic that is a suitable fit for the use of VR, the next step is to define your learning objectives. What are the specific skills, knowledge or attitudes you want your students to learn through their experience in VR? When you are writing your learning objectives make sure that they are student centered and that they are measurable. You want to make sure that there is some way to assess whether the students learned the specific knowledge, skills or attitudes that you are targeting.
If you think back to the two articles that we read as part of this unit and the sample learning plan, the projects described might include the following learning objectives:
Become familiar with the community they may be practicing in
Gain familiarity with new social contexts
Understand how Trauma Informed Principles can be integrated into the physical setting of a human services agency
Analyze how an agencies physical setting can be modified to improve client experiences in seeking services
Develop familiarity with navigating virtual environments and applications
Assess how you may integrate VR into your own practice
Assess how you might use VR for your own self care
Use your worksheet to draft learning objectives that your VR learning activities would support in relation to the topic area that you identified in the previous section.
