“…Several authors [7,8,9] have suggested that teachers perceive financial barriers to VR adoption. Scrivner et al [31] proposed the use of low-cost Google Cardboard, however, they also found that the low resolution can lead to feelings of dizziness.…”

“…Prior works [7,8,9] found that teachers perceive the initial learning curve for teachers and students as an adoption barrier. In alignment with this, Hagge [20] recommends explaining the VR hardware to the students in order to reduce anxiety related to the new technology.…”

“…The base of knowledge is growing nonetheless, and several studies have looked into benefits and challenges perceived by educators already. Solomon et al [7] describe that the following benefits of VR are perceived by lecturers: it facilitates participation, students can learn at their own pace, language barriers can be eliminated, socialization between students can be enabled, and it is useful for students with different learning types. However, they also identified challenges [7]: infrastructure and financial aspects, lack of VR skills, and resistance to change.…”

Virtual reality promises to be a tool that can improve higher education. Immersive virtual environments offer the chance to enrich courses with experiential learning experiences. The technological possibilities evolve rapidly and more and more researchers report on adopting virtual reality for learning -albeit such work often has a more or less experimental character. However, the base of knowledge on using virtual reality in higher education is growing; educators who want to employ virtual reality to amend courses, to extend the curriculum with experiential learning, or who want to offer new content enabled through virtual reality, find increasingly rich advice. With this article, we contribute to this advice by providing insights from three research cases. Although these were experimental, their embedding into a larger project enables us to propose recommendations for educators. The ultimate aim of our work is the routine use of virtual reality in higher education.

“…Online learning is a learning method in which material and tests in learning activities are disseminated online with media such as computers, laptops, and cellphones and with the help of applications such as Google Classroom, Google Meet, Zoom, and other applications so that this learning is different from face-to-face learning methods [1]- [3]. Constraints faced during the online learning process include the lack of knowledge of information technology and online learning support facilities, the availability of quotas and networks, internet access, learning becomes boring, and many students are found to be less active and find it difficult to express their aspirations, the capacity of teaching digital, and opinions compared to face-to-face learning [4]- [8].…”

Online learning causes teachers to be considered more active than students, so students’ higher-order thinking skills decrease. Limited face-to-face learning is a new normal policy in the field of education. Learning models can be one way to recreate active learning to improve student’s learning outcomes. This study determines the effectiveness of the problem-based learning (PBL) model in enhancing student learning outcomes of geography in new normal learning. This research is a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The population is all class XI social study (IPS) at Senior High School 13 Banjarmasin, Indonesia. The sample is used as the experimental group, namely XI IPS 3 totaling 17 students, and the sample is used as the control group, namely XI IPS 2 totaling 14 students. Data collection techniques use tests, non-test, interviews, and documentation. The results are the independent t-test in the experimental and control groups showed that the PBL model effectively improved student learning outcomes in geography in the new normal learning era. The implication is the PBL model can be applied to new normal learning by teachers by elaborating with learning technology which is still adapted to the characteristics of students so that learning objectives are achieved.
