Where we can, as part of an implementation project, we ask for feedback to test user’s opinions on the visual learning material. These surveys measure the value of the visual learning content – and we ask for inputs via multi-choice questions as well as from free-form responses.

Ugandan students - on how VR lessons differed from normal lessons
Ugandan students on how VR lessons differed from normal lessons:
“It has been different because a lot has been taught in just a few hours which is not the case with our normal lessons.”
Mary - Nakaseke

“It's practical since you can operate the VR [model] yourself and takes little time to learn so many things . . .  I have learnt many things in one hour.”
Harriet Birabwa - Nakaseke

“It is different in . . . that I have seen with my eyes and even practice it now . . . as compared to my normal lesson where the pupils study something without seeing it.”
Esther Nanange – Nakaseke

“The VR lesson entails a quicker understanding of concepts underlying each lesson. It also enables quicker understanding of what is taught easily and continuously. “
Otti Alfred Okello – St Henry’s College Kitovu

“The VR lesson is different in a way that it shows clearly what one is learning.... With models being rotated in all the angles one would want to learn about it more and more.”
David Kansiime - St Henry’s College Kitovu

 

And, from Ugandan teachers on whether or not VR was a good way of teaching learning topics:
“Yes.  I’m teaching Mathematics for example. I can design various models e.g. vector geometry models and save them for demonstration purposes.”
Mr Peter Ssenyimba  - Kings College – Budo

“VR is really good . . . once the student is able to actually see he/she can't forget ....”
Abraham Wassara – Makerere

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the AlexSan Kopano Community Centre in Alexandra, South Africa
“I wish it can be introduced in an early level of education so that many students or learners will benefit a lot.”
Zenzele Mofokeng – Alexandra

"The programme was fabulous’’’
“…It was different because in this case I got the information from a computer and it was fun the way it was designed. I have fallen for this programme. It has widened my horizon. (Thank you)…”

“…If we have programmes like this one, where we use visualization, learning will be fun, exciting, interesting and enjoyable to do...”

“…All I wanted to do is just to say thank you very much for this opportunity that I have learnt. I have learnt something about life skills through computer visuals because in life I run a life skills programme for young people.
I’m glad I was part of this team.”
Nankie Kgoale – Alexandra

“I would like VR sessions to be available for every youth especially in Alex because there are so many people which are hungry for success.”
Ntombifuthi Shwayiba – Alexandra

“VR lessons make the learning more enjoyable. It also makes me have self-confidence and self-esteem. Thanks to the computer visuals for making the learning easier for me”
Ntombi – Alexandra

“This is a perfect programme. I think youth or anyone else should have an opportunity to use this programme… It highlights all the possible and important issues about employment. It also shows us the importance of self-employment and working for someone else. I enjoyed it.”
Boitumelo Khunou – Alexandra

 

What other SA students had to say
“. . . I thought it was going to be one of those boring sessions, but this, it was exciting and modern.”
Lebogang Masia - Soshanguve High School

“This VR  lesson differs a lot with our lesson because I've never seen so much magic before, it is more like watching a movie . ..”
France Machele - Soshanguve High School

“It is different from another lesson because it shows pictures so that you can understand more about the lesson or topic.”
Kgothatso Maseko - Soshanguve High School

“The most important thing was the rural hygiene topic which in my own words, I think is very important and helpful to people staying in the rural areas.”
Tshepo Ndlovu – Mamelodi High School

“It showed us some more pictures so it is different from normal lessons. In normal lessons sometimes you just hear but don't see how you can understand.”
Mathodi Masina - Mamelodi High School

 

From Zimbabwean farmers
VR helps us to get knowledge about fixing our fields - we did not have this knowledge

“This brings reality into learning.”

“It’s not a one way process, everyone is involved”

“It was explained in Shona so we could understand

“It was different from normal learning because you can see - not told”

“VR is a powerful tool in the development of our communities

It is very helpful - as an Agric. Teacher I would want to continually use VR in my lessons”

The 3D approach makes concepts easy to understand”
