New Perspectives on Virtual and
Augmented Reality
New Perspectives on Virtual and Augmented Reality discusses the possibilities of
using virtual and augmented reality in the role of innovative pedagogy, where
there is an urgent need to find ways to teach and support learning in
a transformed learning environment. Technology creates opportunities to
learn differently and presents challenges for education. Virtual reality solutions
can be exciting, create interest in learning, make learning more accessible and
make learning faster.
This book analyses the capabilities of virtual, augmented and mixed reality
by providing ideas on how to make learning more effective, how existing
VR/AR solutions can be used as learning tools and how a learning process
can be structured. The virtual reality (VR) solutions can be used successfully
for educational purposes as their use can contribute to the construction of
knowledge and the development of metacognitive processes. They also con-
tribute to inclusive education by providing access to knowledge that would
not otherwise be available.
This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and post-
graduate students in the field of educational technology.
Linda Daniela is Professor, Chair of the Council for PhD Defense in
Education, Dean of the Faculty of Education, Psychology and Art at the
University of Latvia in Riga, Latvia.
Perspectives on Education in the Digital Age
Series Editors: David Kergel and Birte Heidkamp
Theprocessofdigitalizationisleadingtoafundamentalsocialchangeaffectingall
spheres of social life. In the pedagogical field, there is a need for re-structuring
key concepts such as learning, teaching and education that consider socio-
economicandculturalchanges.
Perspectives on Education in the Digital Age explores the process of coming to
terms with socio-economic and socio-cultural shifts arising from digitalization
and discusses this process with reference to its effects on education. The series
provides a forum for discussion of critical, integrative analyses of social trans-
formationsinthedigitalage,drawnfromdifferentfieldssuchasthehumanities,
social sciences and economics. The aim of the series is to analyse the implica-
tions of cultural change on education in the digital age by bringing together
interdisciplinarydialogueanddifferenttheoreticalapproaches.
