VR scenarios

The VR area is about Edustories' Virtual Reality approach to teacher training — a way to step into realistic, simulated classroom conflicts and try different responses in a safe space. It is not an experience that runs in your browser: it is delivered through dedicated VR headsets with a facilitator. The VR page explains the approach and offers downloadable scenario materials.

Why practise in VR

Teacher preparation often can't rehearse the unpredictable moments that come up with real students. VR lets you practise those moments before you face them for real. The benefits are:

• A safe environment for practice — try strategies without real-world consequences.
• Instant feedback — reflect on what happened right away.
• An immersive experience — you feel present in the situation, which makes the practice stick.
• Flexibility — repeat a scenario as many times as you like and try different approaches.

How it works

You put on a VR headset and find yourself inside a model classroom situation — for example a class that turns disruptive. You decide how to respond and see how the situation unfolds, and you can run through it again with a different strategy. A facilitator guides the session and gives you instant feedback afterwards, helping you reflect on what worked.

The technology

Edustories VR uses Meta Quest 3 headsets together with the ENGAGE VR platform. Because it relies on this equipment and a facilitator, it's typically run as a guided session rather than something you do alone at your desk.

Who it's for

It's aimed at educators — especially student teachers and those early in their careers — who want hands-on rehearsal of challenging behaviour before meeting it in a real classroom.

Downloadable materials

The VR page includes a set of downloadable scenario documents (PDFs) you can use to prepare for or run sessions. The available scenarios include:
