Abstract
This chapter looks into the future of education to see if there are chances of virtual reality (VR) technologies becoming a driving force in future teaching and learning. The chapter provides an explanation of education with focus on the purposes and ends they are designed to achieve. The chapter examines how some institutions are currently using VR technologies and the impact they are having on institutional learning, efficiency, and cost. The authors use these discussions to project that education could have a very productive future with the use of VR technologies. They make this argument while staying conscious of cost as a factor that could impede the speedy and effective adoption of this technology unless ways are found to navigate these factors.
