Google Expeditions is an increasingly popular tool that enables immersive learning through the affordances of Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR, AR). Classroom teaching and experience can be enhanced with a Guide and Explorer mode, with a massive library of over 1000+ expeditions to choose from. Self-directed learning can also be enabled as the student can go on solo tours, and be engaged with the instructional materials provided for each scene in the expeditions.
The advent of immersive technologies in the 21st century such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality has revolutionised the way that people consume information. This has certainly caused impactful ramifications to teaching and learning in the classroom, where young learners expect to be immersed in visual and audio content when presented with novel information. Immersive learning will become even more ubiquitous, and teachers need to be future-proof their repertoire of skillsets to engage young minds.
