University Of Sydney: With social distancing restrictions forcing the cessation of face-to-face teaching the University Of Sydney has had to adapt their programs rapidly to keep courses going. One such innovation has been the introduction of virtual reality classrooms, particularly for psychology students.

Virtual spiders and skyscrapers are among the tools being used to teach University of Sydney students during the COVID-19 shutdown, as a virtual reality laboratory in the School Of Psychology has been transformed into a classroom for learning about a range of physical and psychological conditions.

Typically used for research and selective teaching on virtual reality therapies for conditions including phobias, PTSD, pain, and eating disorders, the lab is now being used solely to teach these therapies to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
