The use of modern technological solutions in higher education contributes to the development of new teaching methods and practices. Like any innovation, the introduction of new technologies into the educational process requires methodological and organizational training. In particular, it is necessary to identify the processes in which the use of new technology will allow the best realization of its potential. It should be done without a concomitant increase in the operational burden on professors and employees of the educational institution. During the research seminar, current cases of using a public speaking VR simulator in the educational process and extracurricular activities in St. Petersburg State University will be discussed. Also, a system of methods that allows effective use of the simulator will be presented. Options for the pilot application of the VR simulator in training programs and management courses will be offered for discussion.
