Zacharis, Georgios K.; Mikropoulos, Tassos Anastasios; Kalyvioti, Katerina – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2016
Studies showed that two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) educational content contributes to learning. Although there were many studies with 3D stereoscopic learning environments, only a few studies reported on the differences between real, 2D, and 3D scenes, as far as cognitive load and attentional demands were concerned. We used…

Avramiotis, Spyridon; Tsaparlis, Georgios – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2013
This study is concerned with the effects of computer simulations of two novel chemistry problems on the problem solving ability of students. A control-experimental group, equalized by pair groups (n[subscript Exp] = n[subscript Ctrl] = 78), research design was used. The students had no previous experience of chemical practical work. Student…

Vrellis, Ioannis; Avouris, Nikolaos; Mikropoulos, Tassos A. – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2016
Although problem-based learning (PBL) has many advantages, it often fails to connect to the real world outside the classroom. The integration with the laboratory setting and the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been proposed to address this deficiency. Multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) like Second Life (SL) are…
