Every high school in Arkansas will implement concussion education program CrashCourse, part of which is taught in virtual reality. Facebook donated VR kits to every public Arkansas high school through its Techstart program last year, allowing students to watch CrashCourse content on the Oculus Rift.
CrashCourse was devised by TeachAids, a Stanford University-supported nonprofit. The program emphasizes public health education and features some of the school’s top student-athletes, including star running back Bryce Love. TeachAids is partnering with the Arkansas Department of Education, Arkansas Department of Health, and Arkansas Activities Association to provide CrashCourse.
