Launch of Virtual Reality Courses in Pakistan
The first virtual reality courses in Pakistan have been introduced by the Information Technology University of Lahore.
Bridging the gap between virtual and traditional education is Information Technology University, which is leading the way in Pakistan by providing classes in the metaverse.
Thanks to this creative solution, students taking online classes can now engage at a level that is comparable to that of traditional classroom settings.
With this novel configuration, educators and learners can engage in lessons from any location in the nation by merely donning a virtual reality headset.
A projector and board are included in the setup, which is necessary for instructors to properly teach their lectures in the virtual setting.
Students can ask questions and receive answers in the metaverse, but they can also feel the motions of others around them. Students have said that they find it easier to understand the syllabus because the virtual classroom is more like reality than they are.
The head of the department of computer sciences, Ibrahim Ghaznavi, emphasised that this programme will improve students’ academic performance in addition to saving energy.
He recalls the period in the Covid-19 era when students struggled to understand online courses. Ghaznavi continued by saying that facility improvements were critical to raising pupils’ comprehension.
The University of Denmark and the university have signed an agreement as part of the pilot project. The IT industry thinks that Pakistan will become known globally for its contributions to this field if lawmakers pass laws that encourage modern technology and use it to improve education.
