abstract

  • © 2020 IEEE.Immersive videos, also known as 360° videos or spherical videos, are videos created with a panorama that records in all directions at the same time. In this work of educational innovation, we measure the effectiveness of the use of 360° videos in education. We apply a series of learning activities so that students relate real-life actions with the contents of the course. The students watched 360° videos with virtual reality lenses in the classroom and made the didactic sequence prepared for each activity. We measure the degree of acceptance of this innovative didactic resource by students as a learning tool. The students who used the immersive technology of the 360° videos recorded in scenarios related to their professional environment obtain a greater knowledge of their future professional life through the content of the video, they have a greater feeling of illusion of place, positive affection and a greater enjoyment of the topic that is covered in the 360° video. As a result of the activity, we conclude that the use of 360° videos in education are very effective and its use will be an important trend in the coming years.
