Jia Liu; Avinash Kumar Singh; Anna Wunderlich; Klaus Gramann; Chin-Teng Lin – npj Science of Learning, 2022
Although beacon- and map-based spatial strategies are the default strategies for navigation activities, today's navigational aids mostly follow a beacon-based design where one is provided with turn-by-turn instructions. Recent research, however, shows that our reliance on these navigational aids is causing a decline in our spatial skills. We are…

Marshman, Margaret; Woolcott, Geoff; Dole, Shelley – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2017
The use of multiuser virtual environments for educational purposes is in its infancy but offers potential for exploration of spatial contexts that could not otherwise be experienced. We report on pre-service teachers' experiences in designing learning activities as a result of immersion in the CAVE2™, a 320-degree, cylindrical 3D virtual…

Dalgarno, Barney; Harper, Barry – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2004
This paper describes two empirical studies which investigated the importance for spatial learning of view control and object manipulation within 3D environments. A 3D virtual chemistry laboratory was used as the research instrument. Subjects, who were university undergraduate students (34 in the first study and 80 in the second study), undertook…
