VR teleconferencing can make online students feel like on-campus ones, according to engadget:

Taking online classes is an easy way to fit college into your schedule without the need to physically be on campus. But, there are drawbacks. Full Sail University hopes that implementing virtual reality into its courses will help eliminate some of those faults. The Florida-based school is collaborating with Doghead Simulations on a virtual classroom app. The idea is to help remote students feel more like they’re sitting in a lecture hall rather than watching a professor’s YouTube video or taking an online survey, according to VR Focus. The app is called Rumii, and at its core it’s a teleconferencing suite. Full Sail taps VR to help online students feel less isolated
