Elisa Serrano talks about her Humlab pilot project "Designing for history competencies development in immersive virtual reality" together with Mattis Lindmark, Humlab.
The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) into education offers opportunities to redefine how students engage with history. At Humlab, a digital humanities lab at Umeå University, an innovative VR laboratory is being developed to reconstruct the archaeological excavation of the Battle of Visby (Sweden, 1361). This project aims to promote critical-historical thinking by immersing students in the research roles of historians and archaeologists.
