When it comes to working and learning, collaboration is often the key to success. In a team, tasks can be completed more efficiently, complex issues are easier to grasp and, as we all know, learning is not only an individual but also a social process. The articles in this collection illustrate a variety of opportunities and challenges that the use of virtual spaces and virtual technologies presents for successful teamwork. The collections' aim is to contribute to exploratory research as well as pilot studies of concepts and methods in the use of virtuality, with contributions from different professional and application perspectives.
The question of whether teamwork will increasingly take place in virtual space in the future is clearly answered in the affirmative. For this reason, it is necessary to continue to investigate the organisation of virtual collaboration in the future and to continuously develop new concepts for collaboration. This publication is a snapshot of these ongoing developments. It is intended to inspire practitioners to innovate in the design of collaboration in work and learning environments and to stimulate researchers in their future experiments and research approaches.
Neue Formen der Kommunikation sowie kollaboratives Lernen und Arbeiten mit virtueller Realität sind Themen des Sammelbandes. Die Autor:innen präsentieren Untersuchungen und Szenarien aus der Hochschullehre.
Neue Formen der Kommunikation sowie kollaborative Lern- und Arbeitsmöglichkeiten mit virtueller Realität an Hochschulen sind Themen des Sammelbandes. Die Autor:innen untersuchen und diskutieren, wie die Digitalisierung und die Nutzung digitaler Medien das Lernverhalten und die Zusammenarbeit im Hochschulkontext beeinflussen. Wie interagieren Studierende und Lehrende in einer virtuellen Umgebung? Wie können Teams trotz räumlicher Trennung effektiv zusammenarbeiten? Welche Strukturen, Lernformate und didaktische Methoden brauchen Studierende und Lehrende, wenn sie nicht persönlich, sondern online, virtuell oder hybrid kommunizieren? Die Beiträge basieren auf Kollaborationsszenarien, die als Prototypen an der Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften München entwickelt und getestet wurden.
Der Sammelband bietet Einblicke in aktuelle Forschungen und innovative Ansätze für die Nutzung virtueller Realität im Bildungs- und Arbeitsbereich.
This anthology is concerned with new forms of communication as well as collaborative learning and working possibilities with virtual reality at universities. The authors examine and discuss how digitalisation and the use of digital media influence learning behaviour and collaboration in the university context. How do students and teachers interact in a virtual environment? How can teams work together effectively despite spatial separation? What structures, learning formats and didactic methods do students and teachers need when they communicate online, virtually or hybrid rather than face-to-face? The contributions are based on collaboration scenarios that were developed and tested as prototypes at the Munich University of Applied Sciences HM.
The anthology offers insights into current research and innovative approaches for the use of virtual reality in education and work.
