Immersive virtual worlds provide an opportunity for students to experience a person, place, or process, in a new and engaging way, making learning come alive! But with this new opportunity comes new challenges: challenges of cost, of equity, of software availability and hardware complexity. How are educators using VR in the classroom today?
