Utilizing Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) in Legal Education: Voice from Bangladesh

Virtual Reality (VR) offers immense potential to revolutionize legal education in Bangladesh, where its applications remain limited. Using a mixed-methods approach, a longitudinal survey was conducted on law faculty members from various universities to explore their perceptions and importance of VR integration in law curricula. The survey collected both quantitative and qualitative data, with 59 eligible responses analyzed. Findings indicate overwhelmingly positive attitudes toward VR's capacity to enhance student engagement, memory retention, and comprehension of abstract legal concepts (mean score: 4.0+). Faculty members also recognized the value of VR in providing immersive courtroom simulations, allowing students to develop practical skills in a risk-free environment. The study reveals that VR has the potential to transform legal education by fostering experiential learning, deeper understanding, and skill-building opportunities.
