This innovative technology is already transforming the way students experience learning in the classroom.

“The VR systems are opening up a whole new world of learning,” said CQL Therese Shearer. “It allows students to engage with realistic scenarios that build both their confidence and their practical skills.

They’re experiencing situations they’ll face in the field, which makes our teaching even more impactful.

Student Lexie Hall, who trailed the equipment yesterday, agrees: “It was really interesting! Using the VR makes learning more realistic and gives us hands-on experience in a safe environment.

I feel more prepared for what’s ahead.

In addition to the VR kits, students were using geriatric and disability empathy suits to gain a deeper understanding of the people they are supporting and their specific needs. They’re also experiencing the Virtuali-Tee, which takes science learning to a new dimension. With this augmented reality tool, students can explore the human body directly on a human form. Through 3D visuals and immersive 360° video, they’re able to learn about the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems up close.

Well done to our students for fully immersing themselves in this state-of-the-art learning experience.
