Abstract
The use of virtual reality (VR) technology is increasing in various fields (e.g., gaming, tourism, training, marketing). This paper examines the use of VR in education, specifically in tour guiding education, to reveal this technology can help students academic success and their information retention. In this paper, mixed method and quasi-experimental design was implemented. The VR application allowed students to increase their exam points and retention learning. The students and instructors found the VR application beneficial to better learning. Overall, this research shows that the use of VR can be strongly beneficial to tour guiding educators in helping students enhance their exam success and retention learning.
