About the Event :

Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) has been one of the VTC's Strategic Initiatives in learning and teaching since 2015. Virtual and Augmented Reality (VAR) Technology is one of the key elements in TEL, which is widely used for enriching student's hands-on training authenticity and enhancing learning motivation in VPET education. TEL projects and VAR applications are developed as innovative technologies to enhance learning and teaching in VTC. Some pilot VAR projects were done with good results and the know-how was shared. The implementation of TEL as pedagogical approach was then incorporated into the learning and teaching in VTC.

Currently, different academic disciplines have developed attractive VR or AR applications to enhance students' learning experiences. To share their good practices, the Centre for Learning and Teaching (CLT) has lined up with various disciplines and organised 4 campus tour between May to June 2021. This activity serves as an additional campus tour for teaching staff to experience with different types of VAR application in a designated location. 

Training Descriptions

Discipline	Training/Applications	Descriptions
Youth College	1.          A fire extinguisher VR with head-mounted display (HMD) 2.          Web-based VR activities in Moodle	In the showcase, the applications of “A fire extinguisher VR with head-mounted display (HMD)” and “Web-based VR activities in Moodle” would be demonstrated.  A set of simulated emergency and fire extinguisher training scenarios were developed and helps to visual the complex concepts in the theoretical based module of VOT2007-Safety, Health, and Environment. It aims at leveraging students' knowledge, safety awareness and hand-on skills via VR headset device. The application of “Web-based VR activities in Moodle” embedded the VR elements into Moodle and enhances students' motivation and learning effectiveness in Self-paced Learning.
