'ProVision3D: Feeling the e-Forces' - VR-ondersteund e-learning onderwijs aan de UA

In our project, supported by the ESF at UAntwerpen, we model the course Chemo-Informatics andcomputational drug design into a blended course which includes the development of a VR tool. The form and structure are made in function of the phases of the learning process. In these phases of the learning process, we focus on various didactic components. Self-directed learning is paramount and students are expected to contribute to their own learning process at various moments. In the phase of searching, selecting and offering information, the student's activity is called upon. He builds up the necessary prior knowledge, individually or otherwise. The acquisition, processing and application can take place both offline and online. According to our standards, the search for an appropriate blend is crucial. A suitable blend must be a mixA suitable blend should be a mix of study materials, forms of work and assessment, and learning activities that contribute to the realisation of the learning objectives, a higher learning effect, and in which the students are motivated and challenged to do their best. In the context of this motivation, we want to deploy technological-didactic VR tools and an LMS platform that will make the delivery of the learning content (information) more tangible.
