Frequently Asked Questions
What is Google Expeditions?
Google Expeditions was an educational app developed by Google that allowed teachers and students to explore the world through virtual reality and augmented reality experiences. Just like ClassVR it allowed digital field trips to take students anywhere.
How to use Google Expeditions?
You could use Google Expeditions in your lessons to do the following:
VR Tours: Immersive 360-degree experiences using devices like Google Cardboard.
AR Experiences: Interactive 3D models that could be viewed in the classroom using mobile devices.
Guided Lessons: Teachers could lead students through curated tours with educational annotations.
Google Expeditions has been discontinued, but ClassVR provides a powerful alternative, offering a dedicated VR platform designed specifically for schools, with curriculum-aligned content and classroom management tools that make it simple and impactful to use.
Why is Google Expeditions shutting down?
Google decided to shut down the Expeditions app due to limited accessibility; immersive VR experiences required headsets and compatible devices, which weren’t always available to all students. That is why ClassVR is the perfect alternative, our Eduverse license is available on subscription and can be used on ClassVR, or any laptop or interactive screen that has access to an internet browser. Furthermore, ClassVR makes learning more accessible, focusing on increasing learning for SEND students and those with accessibility issues.
