Learning and teaching with 360° videos in vocational and professional education and training

This course was developed to support the design and production of 360° videos as innovative tools for vocational and professional education and training (VPET). Its purpose is to guide teachers, trainers, instructional designers and technical developers through the process of creating immersive learning experiences, offering step-by-step instructions on how to plan, produce and integrate 360° videos into training activities. The course highlights the key decisions to be made, describes good practices and discusses critical aspects to consider during development. By combining practical guidance with insights from real-world projects, this course offers a pathway for integrating 360° videos into VPET, thus supporting the creation of immersive, engaging and effective learning experiences. The course is structured as follows: Chapter 1 introduces the basic concepts, educational value and pedagogical foundations for using 360° videos in training. Chapter 2 outlines the production process, organised according to the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE) instructional design model. Chapter 3 presents case studies from the seven analysed projects, highlighting the lessons learned from the professionals interviewed.
