Virtual Reality: A Syllabus for a Course on Virtual Reality and Education.
McLellan, Hilary
This document contains a slightly-revised syllabus for a Virtual Reality course taught in spring 1994. The syllabus begins with an introduction which contains information on the software used in the course and examples of schools that have introduced virtual reality technology in the curriculum. The remainder of the document is composed of the syllabus, which begins by pointing out that the course features an emphasis on educational applications of virtual reality, including: (1) data gathering and visualization; (2) project planning and design; (3) the design of interactive training systems; (4) virtual field trips; and (5) the design of experiential learning environments. A definition of virtual reality follows, and the objectives of the course are listed. The schedule of class meetings, readings, and assignments is then given. Finally, four textbooks and eight articles designated as reading for the course are listed, and a bibliography of 20 additional resources on virtual reality and education concludes the syllabus. This document also includes copies of a set of overhead transparencies used with a paper on virtual reality that was presented at the Economics University in Prague, Czechoslovakia. (JLB)
