By Jimena Taquire Meeting mammals on a farm Within the framework of the course Design of Learning Experiences in Virtual Environments in my 5th year of my B.Ed. program, my group and I designed a virtual reality environment through CoSpaces Edu. This experience corresponds to the area of ​​Science and Technology and is aimed at third-grade primary school students. The objective of this innovation proposal is for students to compare and describe the biological characteristics of mammalian animals that live on a farm. To do this, students will learn the biological characteristics of cows, horses, and sheep, as well as compare these characteristics, such as their type of reproduction, type of food, etc. You can learn more about this experience by clicking on the following link or scanning the QR code: https://edu.cospaces.io/LPS-ZJU My group and I designed an augmented reality environment through CoSpaces Edu.
