Immersive Learning for Network Security Education: The Role of Virtual Reality Technology in Higher Vocational Colleges

Abstract

As a core course in higher vocational education, enhancing the teaching quality of computer network security is essential for fostering students’ comprehensive development and for the construction of high-quality learning environments. The emergence and advancement of virtual reality (VR) technology have created new opportunities for innovation in network security education within higher vocational colleges. By applying VR technology to construct realistic simulation environments, instructional formats can be enriched while effectively improving students’ practical technical skills and facilitating the integration of theoretical knowledge with hands-on application. This study explores the pedagogical value and specific implementation strategies of VR technology in computer network security instruction within higher vocational colleges, aiming to deepen the application of VR technology across educational contexts.
