Virtual Reality in Higher Education: Instruction for the Digital Age provides a compelling argument for the inclusion of this technology into higher education. As college leaders investigate alternative approaches to learning, this book provides a strong argument for incorporating, purchasing, and supporting Virtual Reality in higher education. The book is a thorough orientation to the value of VR and convinces the reader that college administrators should see it as a viable investment in higher education.

I appreciate this book’s focus on effective uses of Virtual Reality in a wide variety of disciplines such as biology, nursing, criminal justice, and humanities. Topics discussed have the ability to positively impact students’ educational experiences, as well as knowledge and skill attainment. Virtual Reality in education allows for guided practice in a safe, controlled environment, which ultimately benefits the communities and the industries colleges serve.

A well-researched and very thorough treatise on a technology that is changing the very nature of education. Not only should this book be required reading, but the implementation of this technology should be a required exercise. Virtual Reality is a technology opening doors for experiential learning for everyone, everywhere.
