Students in a collegiate database class, taught by Associate Professor Sally Hamouda, have embarked on a unique educational journey that bridges the gap between the classroom and the world. Utilizing virtual reality tools, these students collaborated with an official from Egypt, allowing them to explore ancient monuments without ever leaving their campus. This innovative experience was made possible through a grant from the Global Education Office, which aims to enhance learning opportunities and provide students with a global perspective.
The incorporation of virtual reality into the curriculum has opened up new avenues for engagement and understanding. By virtually visiting historical sites, students are not only able to visualize the architecture and artifacts of ancient civilizations but also gain insights into the cultural significance of these landmarks. This immersive approach to education fosters a deeper appreciation for global history and encourages students to think critically about the interconnectedness of cultures. As technology continues to evolve, such initiatives are paving the way for a more enriched and interactive learning environment.
