VIRTUAL REALITY FOR ACTIVE LEARNING IN CHEMISTRY

Virtual reality (VR) is a relatively recent technology whose potential as an instructional technology tool is beginning to be explored. In this communication, different practical activities aimed at active learning in chemistry using the Nanome program will be presented, which allows working in a virtualized teaching environment. The extension of teaching using VR technologies enhances the student's learning curve, emphasizing interactivity and enabling the student to actively participate during the process, providing with better learning capabilities and a more straightforward and solid consolidation of abstract concepts inherent to chemistry.
