The conventional teaching approaches in (bio)chemistry lead to university students with underdeveloped spatial-reasoning skills. Here we present an integral classroom-activating approach improving the students? 3D reasoning by combining subject-specific 3D molecular models and tailor-made assignments with immersive virtual reality (VR) capabilities.
Outcomes: Learn how to implement a 3D/VR tool to stimulate active learning * Hear about the challenges of VR in the classroom * Discover how the use of VR essentially leads to every student occupying their own social space rather than the normal shared social space of a classroom
