Adolescents increasingly face sexual relations earlier in life. Consequently, lack
of communication and insufficient communication can lead to unwanted con-
sequences, which can be prevented with early and appropriate education of
healthy sex life. Interesting presentations supported with modern information
and communications technology should be prepared to make young people
aware of consequences of unprotected sex. We have developed online study
material, based on virtual reality. The application is a product of the coopera-
tion between two schools: Secondary School Zagorje and Secondary Techni-
cal and Vocational School Trbovlje. It is accessible online and students can use it
on computers, as well as on tablets and smartphones. In the application, sexu-
ally transmitted infections are presented at the microscopic level. That is an in-
novative way for adolescents. With the application, we wanted to raise aware-
ness and to inform teenagers about the consequences of unprotected sexual
intercourse, sexually transmitted diseases and appropriate protections as well
as to find out the effectiveness of modern information and communications
technology in comparison to traditional learning. Therefore, we have designed
an upgrade to the virtual education material, which can be used on various de-
vices. We have also added different learning topics. We found out that most
students agree that the application is more useful than traditional learning tools
and offers more information in one place.
