“…The VR laboratory is considered a teaching strategy that is increasingly being used in several areas of health care for professional skills training and assessment as well as chemistry courses, biotech education, genetics, and a wide variety of other fields [8]. These virtual environments provide an extensive learning platform that not only adds to student learning but can also increase their motivation to learn and improve their self-efficacy in final exams when compared with a traditional lecture [9].…”

There were several ways to teaching microbiology, but when it is hands-on into laboratory practice, biosafety must take priority. To mitigate this limitation, some approaches use virtual reality technology to simulate the environment. However, all are shows as multimedia-based, didactic simulators and function as an extension of the textbook. This short paper addresses a proposal to develop a virtual reality environment for teaching microbiology that can be used as a tool to explore the microbiological environment for the study of viruses and bacteria harmful to humans. Finally, this work aims to develop a prototype tool to facilitate the teaching of microbiology, contemplating both the pedagogical requirements of the educational software and the technical requirements needed to build an immersive virtual reality environment. Added to this proposal is the requirement to present a low-cost tool for both editing and visualization.

“…It is noticeable that some students have difficulties regarding abstract concepts, which are often presented descriptively and statically. Indeed, there is a lack of teaching strategies to facilitate the understanding of these concepts [12].…”

Educators often struggle to teach cellular and molecular processes in microbiology because they usually only have tools based on only two dimensions and are not as attractive as multimedia tools. Learning research has demonstrated that visualizing processes in three dimensions aids learning, and animations are effective visualization tools for novice learners and aid with long-term memory retention. Thus, with increasing adoption of immersive virtual reality as an enabling strategy for teaching has challenged researchers, educators, and enthusiasts to produce both tools and content for these tools. High-fidelity graphics and immersive content using projection on increasingly inexpensive glasses have allowed students to explore complex subjects in a way that traditional teaching methods cannot. In this way, this work presents a prototype of a tool to facilitate the teaching of microbiology, contemplating both the pedagogical requirements of educational software and the technological ones necessary in the construction of an immersive virtual reality environment. Added to this proposal is the requirement to present a low-cost tool for both editing and visualization.
