Developing digital technology for educational purposes

Abstract

The paper presents promising fundamental and applied research that studies the concept of developing meta-disciplinary knowledge and skills using virtual reality (VR) technologies for teaching foreign languages, and augmented reality (AR) for teaching STEM subjects. The article reveals the structure of the digital complex information system, which includes three components: a spatial subject-related component, a content-methodological one and a communication-organizational component. The key points of the effective use of AR and VR are outlined to provide the interaction of the participants of the educational process. The authors discuss the form of creating virtual and augmented reality and determine the form of representing the educational content in the digital information system. It is stated that students should be involved in constructing mathematical models using AR and VR technologies as a tool for cognition of the real world.
