“…Despite the many benefits and drawbacks of VR, its adoption in formal education is still gradual. The uniqueness of formal education, such as vocational or higher education is that standardization and rules may either stimulate or inhibit educational innovation (Arnold et al, 2022, Fischer et al, 2021. The implications of these issues in the educational setting and associated areas of VR adoption must be extensively examined.…”

Virtual collaborative learning and teaching benefits from using immersive technologies to develop both key competences, such as collaboration, virtual communication, and problem-solving skills, and social and digital skills. VR, which is understood as a scientific and technical field that uses information technology and behavioural interfaces to simulate the individual behaviour of 3D entities in the virtual world is justified by concepts such as immersion and interactivity (technical dimension) and the construction of presence (psychological dimension). As such, the Hotel Academy project aimed at the development of a joint curriculum that allows for virtual interdisciplinary, international, and intercultural collaboration and virtual exchange (COIL) between three European universities from Cyprus, France, and Germany in the field of hospitality management. Based on a thematic analysis of focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews with different stakeholders (2+4 sessions, N=13) and participatory observations in VR role-plays, this paper presents findings from a summative validation of the underlying didactical framework. This includes the dimensions of didactics, organization, technology, economy, education system, institution, and individuals. Based on the validation of the underlying framework, transnational, and cross-institutional blueprints (e.g., multiplier strategy, prototyping strategy, synergetic strategy) are developed for the implementation of this specific VR environment in higher education institutions. Such blueprints are no simple representation of the universities involved in this project but emerged from our qualitative data analysis as part of the recommendations from the involved stakeholders and experts. The blueprints demonstrate empirically grounded archetypes of different states in which higher education institutions can locate themselves. Finally, conclusions are drawn regarding practical implications of the implementation of virtual role-plays and regarding future research directions.

“…The subject of ideology and morality is a comprehensive growth discipline, vulnerable to various growth factors in society, and the teaching of ideology and morality is essentially a course that transforms social and moral education into students' individual moral cultivation [12][13]. The literature [14] argues that contextual teaching based on VR technology is precisely the design principle of insisting on the combination of theory and practice and presenting theoretical knowledge to students by creating a context through VR technology.…”

With the rapid growth of computer technology and multimedia technology, VR technology is regularly developed and applied to entire walks of life. This paper first introduces the VR double master teaching model into the practical teaching of Civics in colleges and universities (CU) and analyzes the shortcomings and limitations of the traditional teaching design scheme. Secondly, under the guidance of constructivist learning theory and contextual cognitive theory, as well as the basic theory of humanistic theory, combined with the characteristics of venue learning, and also with the implementation of gesture interaction technology and face expression detection technology with the help of depth sensors, a teaching design scheme with immersion and interactivity based on red VR venues is designed. The results show that the response time of logging into the business through the performance test of the VR Civics teaching system is 5.239s - 3s, and the thinking time is 2.271 s, which is in line with the result of logging in less than 3 s. Moreover, the Civics performance of students taught through VR has improved by 11.2 percentage points, and the teaching effect and system performance are in line with the practice expectation. It shows that the virtual reality technology proposed in this paper and Civics teaching have achieved an effective combination and realized the fundamental purpose of implementing moral education.
