How to Use ClassVR to Teach Humanities

Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to teach humanities using state-of-the-art technology?

Imagine being able to put yourself in a particular moment in time, stand inside a tornado, explore Edinburgh Castle or visit Stonehenge without having to leave the classroom. All of this, and more, is possible with ClassVR.

Create Engaging Lessons for Your Students

Virtual reality helps create fully immersive and engaging lessons for your students. Using virtual reality solutions, like ClassVR, in combination with your structured lesson plans helps encourage students of all ages to build their imagination.

Learning through experience is one of the most powerful and effective ways to learn, the experience allows your students to visualise and understand even the most complex subjects and takes students to impossible places.

Using ClassVR to Teach Humanities

ClassVR provides everything you need to introduce virtual reality into the classroom. From hardware, software, curriculum-aligned activities and lessons plans, teachers can confidently use ClassVR to add value to every humanities lesson.

Vist anywhere, at any period of time

ClassVR includes hundreds of VR, AR and MR educational resources to support your geography and history lessons. Not only can you transport your students across the world, you can even go back in time.

Explore every inch of the world, from looking at the beautiful scenery of Mount Kilimanjaro in a 360-degree photo, diving alongside the Great Barrier Reef, and analysing famous architecture like St. Basil’s Cathedral or the Eiffel Tower.

Become a time traveler and visit various eras of time. Experience what it’s like to be in a World War One trench, witness the Great Fire of London, walk through the Berlin Wall or even visit Ancient Greece.

Delve Deep into History & Geography in the World's First Educational Virtual Reality Theme Park

Alongside ClassVR, Avanti’s World is a revolutionary way for students to explore hundreds of virtual reality educational experiences all in one thrilling theme park. Supporting you to teach humanities in a fun and engaging way, Avanti’s World includes two exciting ‘Lands’ for you to explore, individually, in a teacher-controlled environment or even as a group.

Trip Through Time Land

You can begin your journey by exploring Trip Through Time Land, where students can explore several periods of history, in chronological order, from the Prehistoric Era to the Modern World. They can explore the great plains of North America and learn how different communities lived. Or why not guide them through the harsh realities of a World War One Trench and introduce them to the conditions many men faced in this brutal time.

Engaging Earth Land

In Engaging Earth Land students can immerse themselves in some of the most awe-inspiring places on earth. They may decide to experience extreme climates and study the effect of global warming. How about taking a stroll along the banks of the Mississippi and explore the forest and wetlands? Or, with management controls, you can guide your students through frozen glaciers and support their learning, working together to find out how snow glaciers are made and what happens when they melt.

Alongside the exciting content in each of the virtual lands, Avanti’s World gives teachers exclusive access to a plethora of support resources based around the theme park’s learning zones and scenes. This separate web-based student learning platform provides detailed information, tasks, worksheets, quizzes and assessments to easily review what students learnt during their time in Avanti’s World.
