Abstract

This paper reports a new international initiative on the use of virtual and augmented reality (VAR) technology to assist student learning of biomolecules. Researchers, developers and educators from Nanyang Technological University, National Institute of Education, Hwa Chong Institution and River Valley High School in Singapore, Utrecht University and Windesheim University of Applied Science in The Netherlands, will work together for two years on this project. The objective of this research is to investigate the benefits of applying the latest VAR technology to enhance students’ learning of molecular biology. In particular, the project is keen to design new immersive and interactive contents for selected topics such as enzymes, proteins, DNAs etc., in molecular biology. This interdisciplinary collaboration has a potential to grow globally.
