Clear ownership. Curriculum integration. Consistent usage. That’s what changes outcomes.

Until then, most VR labs won’t fail on paper.

They’ll just stop being used in practice.

[Nihar Madkaiker @niharonline]

Most VR lab implementations at universities don’t fail because of technology. The problem is structural, and often about attitude.

[Nihar Madkaiker @niharonline]

That’s why most VR labs don’t fail visibly. They fail quietly.

Not because the technology is weak. But because implementation never really happens.

If immersive learning has to work at scale, tools don’t need to improve. Implementation does.

Most universities already have labs. But they’re far more inefficient than we admit.
On paper, everything looks complete, infrastructure, equipment, sessions.

But the outcomes don’t reflect it. Something breaks between “doing” and actually understanding. #HigherEducation #EdTech

[Nihar Madkaiker @niharonline]

Real learning needs repetition, trying again, changing things, failing, figuring out. Most systems don’t allow that. So we end up with completion, not understanding.

Wrote more about this in today’s newsletter, breaking down why this happens and what needs to change. Link Below!

@ettettaaa @mufaddal_vohra yes it will just be 40 over aside ODI match essentially. With test cricket there is the dynamic of batting out time, the possibility to draw out a test match also .. changing pitch conditions, opposition batting for long hours, long spells etc.adds an important dynamic.
