About The Virtrain Project
An Erasmus + project (2020-2023) Virtrain brought together a consortium of institutions active in Vocationa Education and Training (VET) from four European countries.
The main goal was to discover the potentail and pracitcal affordanfes of Virtual Reality and bring it directly to the hands of teachers.
Having finished the project we found there are several ways the VR-supported modalities actually can enhance the quality of teaching and learning in VET.
This website presents the main project outcomes including a course for teachers and lesson-plan samples. Enjoy!
