Digital outcrop models (DOMs) have facilitated quantitative and qualitative studies in digital and virtual environments of source and reservoir rock analogs important to the oil industry. The use of immersive virtual reality (iVR) to extend field experiences has motivated several research groups to develop software integrating iVR techniques with…

Virtual reality (VR) technology provides new possibilities for educators to design and optimize learning experiences. However, it remains largely unclear how virtual learning environments can be engineered to achieve measurable improvements in the learners' performance. To advance the development and application of VR learning technologies, we…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) skills are critical for students of all ages to maximize their learning. Two key processes of SRL are being aware of one's performance (self-evaluation) and believing in one's capabilities to produce given attainments (self-efficacy). To assess and improve these capabilities in young children (5-8), we use a literacy…
