Term explanation
In a learning context, virtual reality (VR) creates immersive, simulated environments in which learners can practice skills, explore scenarios, or experience situations that would be difficult, expensive, or dangerous to replicate in real life. VR training is used in industries such as healthcare, aviation, manufacturing, and emergency services. By placing learners inside a realistic environment, VR significantly increases engagement, retention, and the transfer of skills to real-world performance.
