Discover how the Dutch Police Academy uses VR in education.
Curious about the possibilities of virtual reality (VR) in education? In this interactive workshop by the Dutch Police Academy, you’ll literally step into the world of VR and experience what it’s like to teach and learn in a virtual environment.
We’ll begin with a brief introduction on how we use VR within police education. You’ll get insight into our development approach, the training goals we aim to achieve, and practical examples of how VR is integrated into learning scenarios. Then it’s time to dive in.
Put on the VR headset and take part in a short VR lesson, just as a student or trainee would. Police academy instructors will guide the session, so you’re not just observing – you’re actively participating. You'll experience firsthand how VR can increase engagement, stimulate reflection, and enhance interaction.
After the VR experience, we’ll reflect together. What was it like to be in the middle of a VR training? How did it affect your perspective on teaching? How can VR help spark meaningful conversations, address behavior, or offer new ways to achieve learning objectives?
This workshop is hands-on and– ideal for anyone interested in exploring innovative teaching methods, no matter your level of VR experience.
Note: Active participation is expected – yes, you really will be putting on the VR headset!
