Aleshia Hayes; Kevin T. Martinez; Beth Karlin; Patience Wieland; Krisstal Clayton; Iqbal Rubaiyat – International Journal on E-Learning, 2024
VR has been widely acknowledged for its capacity to allow perspective-taking, increase empathy, engage learners, and facilitate experiential learning; however, the availability, accessibility, and limitations of the content have slowed implementation. One instance of this can be seen in implementing XR content to engage global citizens with…

Sahar Bader; Ibrahim Abotaleb; Ossama Hosny – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2025
Virtual reality (VR) training programs have seen substantial growth due to their ability to improve trainee learning outcomes. Despite this, there is a noticeable gap in the availability of conceptual frameworks that incorporate social learning theories as a basis for creating VR-based safety training programs. This research aims to address this…

Yunjo An; Regina Kaplan-Rakowski – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2024
Most research on virtual reality (VR) for learning has focused on young populations in formal learning contexts. Little research has been conducted on how adults engage in informal learning using VR. This study examined adults' informal learning experiences in high-immersion VR, focusing on the aspects of VR they enjoyed and the challenges they…

Leaver, Betty Lou; Campbell, Christine – L2 Journal, 2023
Language-related Study Abroad (SA) experiences can be catalysts for learner transformation in the areas of cognition, socialization, and/or affect by virtue of the location and experience. An Open Architecture Curriculum Design (OACD) framework can support, promote, and enhance such transformation, as evidenced in eight programs for young adults,…

Mason A. Wirtz; Simone E. Pfenninger; Irmtraud Kaiser; Andrea Ender – Modern Language Journal, 2024
The present study takes a variationist perspective to explore the varietal repertoires of adult learners of German as a second language (L2), that is, their variable use of standard German, Austro-Bavarian dialect, and mixture varieties. Forty L2 learners completed a virtual reality task involving interactions with dialect-speaking and…

Howell, Heather; Mikeska, Jamie N. – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2021
Human-in-the-loop simulation is a valuable tool that can support novice teachers in learning how to lead classroom discussions. We ground our use of simulation in a theory of practice-based teacher education, examining how authenticity is theorized around approximations of practice. We then illustrate the use an approximation of practice approach,…

Fuhrman, Orly; Eckerling, Anabel; Friedmann, Naama; Tarrasch, Ricardo; Raz, Gal – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
A challenging aspect of foreign language acquisition is learning new vocabulary. Research has demonstrated the benefits of motor action to vocabulary learning, though these findings are rarely translated into teaching and learning practices. In this work, we present a novel paradigm for vocabulary learning in a virtual reality environment,…
