Hayes, Aleshia; Daughrity, Lea Anne; Meng, Nanxi – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2021
This discourse presents TPACK as a conceptual framework for thinking about the integration of Virtual Reality into the classroom. This content introduces the concept of immersion, explores of the possibilities of VR technology, including the hardware, software, and potential classroom uses. This review also provides heuristics for deciding VR's…

Garcia-Bonete, Maria-Jose; Jensen, Maja; Katona, Gergely – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Although virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) techniques have been used extensively in specialized laboratories, only recently did they become affordable, reaching wider consumer markets. With increased availability, it is timely to examine the roles that VR and AR may play in teaching structural biology and in experiencing complex data sets…
