VirtualShip Classroom in new courses
+
At UU…
+
+
In total 4 courses at UU (8 cycles), with implementation in each to continue in 2026/2027.
+
Implementation has been extended to two new courses:
+
+
Ocean of the Future [BSc; Geosciences]
+
Sustainable Water Resources Management [MSc; Geosciences]
+
+
4 hour ‘masterclass’

VirtualShip Classroom in new courses
+
Beyond UU… !
+
+
€100k NKO funding to implement the VirtualShip Classroom at four new universities in the Netherlands:
+
+
TU Delft
+
University of Amsterdam
+
Wageningen University and Research
+
University of Groningen
+
+
Mixture of BSc and MSc courses, ranging from ecology to physics.
+
Implementation to start in 2026/2027, for two academic years.
+
A transition from us actively supporting the implementation at each university to a more hands-off approach.
+
+
+
+
Student evaluation (at UU)

Updates to the software
+
The software has updated over the last year… often in line with evolving user needs and feedback from students.
+
+
+
+
Student evaluation (at UU)
+
Software evaluation from students’ perspective is less positive.
+
+
+
+From Dynamical Oceanography 2025/2026 (MSc)

And even more challenging for BSc students with mixed programming experience.

+
VR / 360° videos
+
+
2024/2025: shorter videos, ship tours, scientist interviews and one instrument-focused video (ADCP).
+
2025/2026: 4 new longer videos (more instruments, day-at-sea videos) from DUST expedition that Emma and Gonçalo participated in.
+
+
Newer videos after Gonçalo had 7 months more training in editing skills.
+
+
New bespoke video player application designed with the AV team at UU.
+
+
Focusing on ability to deploy videos to students asynchronously.
