Educational Conditions Successful Training with Virtual Reality Technologies

Abstract

The paper focuses on those pedagogical conditions, which should be met in order to assure successful training using virtual reality (VR) technologies. Therefore neither new technical inventions nor large scale technical experiments are the issue of this paper. Instead a systematic catalogue of pedagogical questions will be proposed. which should be answered. before virtual reality is planned for training purposes. The pedagogical catalogue is derived from the basics of educational psychology and media didactics. It comprises *a taxonomy of learning objects which are most suitable for virtual reality *an analysis of training strategies and methods. as to how well they are suited for training in an almost entirely synthetic environment * an analysis of the transfer of training when virtual reality is the major training medium * and finally rules and basic cost data. which may help to conduct cost effectiveness analyses.
