Now, however, new technologies \u2014\u00a0including holograms and Carleton IT researcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csit.carleton.ca\/ali.arya\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ali Arya&#8217;s<\/a> virtual reality environments \u2014 are creating engaging, interactive experiences for students that transcend distance and other barriers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our partner Northern communities have identified student engagement as one of the more pressing educational problems they face,&#8221; says Anderson.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;School staffing and resources are often stretched, and we are investigating the value of this great new technology.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1050\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1050\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1050\" src=\"https:\/\/challenge.carleton.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-new-virtual-classroom-1200x700-3.jpg\" alt=\"Two older men wearing button up shirts and glasses pose for a photo. \" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/challenge.carleton.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-new-virtual-classroom-1200x700-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/challenge.carleton.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-new-virtual-classroom-1200x700-3-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/challenge.carleton.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-new-virtual-classroom-1200x700-3-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/challenge.carleton.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-new-virtual-classroom-1200x700-3-768x448.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1050\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sprott School of Business researcher Troy Anderson and Carleton IT researcher Ali Arya<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Everything is changing in education,&#8221; he adds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Students don&#8217;t respond to things the way they did before COVID and expectations are different.

These can help students understand concepts that are complex and abstract or difficult to visualize.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Virtual environments can also help ease the stress and anxiety that interferes with a student&#8217;s ability to learn by using pictures or messages to motivate and instill a sense of calm.
