Abstract

This article details the piloting of a virtual reality activity in an introductory anthropology class at Utah Valley University. Anthropologists have only recently started exploring how VR technology can facilitate classroom learning. As Elzen (2018) writes, VR allows “students to immerse themselves much more than passively watching a video.” It is this immersive quality of the medium that makes it particularly useful for anthropological pedagogy. 
虚拟现实作为社会文化人类学导论中参与性观察的代理
本文详细介绍了在犹他谷大学人类学入门课程中虚拟现实活动的试点情况。人类学家直到最近才开始探索虚拟现实技术如何促进课堂学习。正如Elzen(2018)所写,VR让“学生比被动地看视频更能沉浸其中。”正是这种媒介的沉浸性使得它对人类学教育学特别有用。
