    XRWomen E-learning Course Description

    The XRWomen e-learning course aims to empower refugee women and women with fewer opportunities by integrating Extended Reality (XR) tools in language education. This innovative project is divided into four learning modules, easy to comprehend and implement in educational concepts, designed to enable language learning and teaching, as well as make it more interactive.

     

    Module 1: Introduction to XR in Language Education 

    Module Introduction to XR and its Integration in Language Teaching is an introductory course to XR (Extended Reality) technology and its application in language education. It navigates into what XR is and outlines the various forms of extended reality, namely AR, VR, and MR, while explaining their distinctions. Furthermore, it explains how important XR is in language teaching and introduces ways of integrating XR for language learning.

     

    Module 2: XR Teaching Methodologies and Strategies 

    The module Teaching methodologies/approaches/strategies to integrate XR technologies (AR, VR, and MR) in language teaching and learning was developed to help discover teaching methodologies and approaches that implement  XR technologies in the language teaching and learning process. It allows users to find teaching methods for integrating XR technologies into language education, identify learner-centred approaches using XR to engage diverse learners and adapt teaching methods to incorporate XR for women refugees effectively and those with fewer opportunities.

     

    Module 3: Practical Application of XR Tools 

    Participants will be introduced to specific XR tools, such as Oculus, and their practical applications in language learning. This module includes hands-on activities and detailed guidelines on how to use these tools to create engaging and effective language lessons tailored for women with fewer opportunities.

     

    Module 4: Evaluation and Best Practices 

    The final module “Specific XR tools (Oculus) appropriate to use” on XRWomen provides information on using VR tools, such as “Noun Town”, “Mondly VR”, and “Immerseme” for educational purposes. It provides guidelines on how these tools can empower the teaching and learning process, with practical applications and assessments, adjusted for the purposes of teaching languages, and specifically, for communication improvement purposes. 

     

    Through these modules, the XRWomen e-learning course aims to create upskilling pathways and improve educational accessibility, empowering refugee women and women with fewer opportunities through innovative technological tools and fostering their civic engagement and participation.
