It can be linked to STEM subjects in general but also to any other discipline,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any technology, the key is understanding whether it provides real added value and how best to incorporate it into a pedagogical scenario. Virtual reality also allows for content creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA teacher alone may sometimes feel a bit lost, not knowing how to proceed with virtual reality. Collaboratively co-creating pedagogical scenarios will undoubtedly have a more direct impact on the learning process,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Julien provides a specific example: using the Virtuali-Tee app, \u201cyou can visualize all human body systems through a T-shirt worn by students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, students work in pairs. The educational scenario involves asking students to identify specific organs, take screenshots, annotate them, and share them with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can even record your screen and add voice commentary to explain, for instance, the path of food through the digestive system,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For him, working in pairs encourages students to share and confront their ideas. \u201cIt\u2019s a co-construction process, and it is always more interesting than working alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, he notes that this type of activity often unsettles students who are very \u201cschool-oriented\u201d because it deviates from the traditional framework. \u201cHowever, others engage very well with the activity, and it is interesting because it shifts the dynamics within the classroom,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding implementation, Julien Fran\u00e7ois does not encounter any difficulties. For him, \u201cas long as students are actively engaged, even if managing noise levels and movement is necessary, it remains a comfortable activity,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During LUDOVIA#BE, held in Spa, Wallonia, from October 22 to 24, 2024, we discovered several remarkable initiatives.
