MADISON (WKOW) — Madison College will be the first in the nation to hold a class virtually.

Students are testing out games on the school’s virtual reality headsets.

It’s part of the marketing program’s first-of-its-kind Digital Innovations class.

Students got to practice with the headsets to make sure they’re familiar with how they work, because next week, they’ll be meeting in a virtual classroom.

Instructor Steve Noll says some students had their doubts about the technology, until they got to use it.

Students say they can already see ways virtual reality technology can be used in the real world.

Madison College says while many people have been using virtual reality within a physical classroom, it will be the first school in the nation to hold its class virtually.
