International project VirTrain
Our institute is a member of the international consortium of the VirTrain project, which was supported by the Erasmus + program. You can find everything about the project on the project's dedicated website here .
The primary goal of the VirTRain project is INNOVATION. The aim is to increase the quality of teaching and learning in vocational education and training through modern technologies, especially virtual reality as a tool in the hands of teachers.
VirTrain aims to introduce the benefits of virtual reality, map training needs and train teachers and develop their pedagogical skills and overcome potential barriers to the use of virtual reality in teaching and learning.
The key idea of the VirTRain project is to break the company's general perception that technology is reducing attention.
The use of virtual reality can not only engage students more, but especially help them to concentrate more and liven up lessons, as it is known that the more fun the teaching is and the more and better we learn.
Through the VirTRain project, we would like to show how easy and accessible these technologies are for teaching vocational languages in the VET sector and we would like to bring a methodology for using virtual reality in language teaching as well as inspiring teaching materials.
