Need Analysis for Higher Educational Institutions for using Virtual Reality-TESLA Project

Recently, different solutions were proposed in literature to investigate the use of virtual reality in educational context. This is referred to the fact that virtual reality showed some interesting benefits over classical learning materials. This paper shows a study that was carried out in the context of TESLA Erasmus+ project to investigate both willingness and readiness of staff members in Palestinian partners. A questionnaire was distributed, and data were gathered from a sample of 100 staff members from four Palestinian HEIs who are involved in the project. The results are discussed, and some recommendations are given. Among the important results, the instructors’ attitude is positive. However, they need to improve their skills in terms of techno-pedagogical aspects in virtual reality.
