Abstract

VR learning in education is favoured by many academics, and they believe that this approach can accelerate, amplify, and expand the impact of effective teaching and learning experiences. The adoption of virtual reality in higher education is to make the learning process exciting and more effective. It is aligned with the target TLLM (teach less, learn more) initiative in Taylor's University to provide students with the characteristics and skills that will help them survive in an ever-changing technological world. As a 21st century educator, it is essential to be able to implement technology, think forward, embrace change, and have the ability to allow students to learn best when they are taught with their own unique styles and abilities. The principles behind this pedagogy comprise a mix of technology, space, and learning in innovative ways that support a variety of "e-learning" modes to facilitate knowledge transfer-immersive lesson, interaction, and collaboration-and independent self-paced learning that enables learning anytime and anywhere.
