Makransky, Guido; Klingenberg, Sara – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Objective: Many industries struggle with training dynamic risk assessment, and how to bridge the gap between safety training and behavior in real life scenarios. In this article, we focus on dynamic risk assessment during a mooring operation and investigate the potential value of using immersive virtual reality (VR) simulations compared to…

Elme, Liisalotte; Jørgensen, Maria L. M.; Dandanell, Gert; Mottelson, Aske; Makransky, Guido – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
The goal of the current study was to investigate the effects of an immersive virtual reality (IVR) science simulation on learning in a higher educational setting, and to assess whether using self-explanation has benefits for knowledge gain. A sample of 79 undergraduate biology students (40 females, 37 males, 2 non-binary) learned about…
