Abstract

While higher education research supports the use of virtual reality in the classroom, literature on its use in social work education is limited. This article discusses the implementation of virtual reality assignments in two MSW courses. Students enter virtual experiences as “first-person” observers while moving through the environment, observing context, and experiencing participant verbal and non-verbal communication. There were multiple considerations in the design and implementation of these assignments, including theoretical framework, scenarios, scripting and filming, and student preparation. This paper will discuss the reasons behind implementation of virtual reality, the design, development. and lessons learned.

摘要

虽然高等教育研究支持在课堂上使用虚拟现实，但关于其在社会工作教育中使用的文献有限。本文讨论了两个 MSW 课程中虚拟现实作业的实施。学生作为“第一人称”观察者进入虚拟体验，同时在环境中移动、观察上下文并体验参与者的口头和非口头交流。这些作业的设计和实施有多种考虑，包括理论框架、场景、脚本和拍摄以及学生准备。本文将讨论虚拟现实实现、设计、开发背后的原因。和吸取的教训。
