Given the profound influence that technology has on society, shaping our behaviours, conversations, and decisions, it is essential to understand its development and nature. Obtaining a complete understanding of technology requires us to explore both the nature of technology and its historical aspects. This study examines how using supportive…

In light of today's experience economy and the forthcoming era of smart-technology and the metaverse, the aesthetic education needs to be revolutionized. In particular, integrating augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) into such courses has been proven to significantly enrich the learning experience and enhance its effectiveness. This…

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…

This study explores the research trends regarding augmented reality (AR) use in preschool education through a bibliometric mapping analysis. The researchers included 85 publications from Web of Science databases for the analysis. VOSViewer program was utilized to conduct the keyword and term analyses. The keyword analysis' results indicated that…

The update of artificial intelligence (AI) is triggering the innovation of education concepts, education methods, and education means. This paper takes the impact of contemporary visual communication design on design methods, design means, and presentation methods brought by AI as the starting point; combines the possibilities brought by the…

The scientific problem of the paper is related to the need to improve corporate marketing communication by using innovative technologies to improve consumer experience in the purchase decision process and to reduce purchase risks. The use of augmented reality is one of the innovative marketing communication technologies. So far, the impact of the…

The sense of presence is an important aspect of virtual reality experiences, being increasingly researched in educational contexts for its potential association with learning outcomes. A panorama of how these investigations have been conducted could help researchers and practitioners to harness this potential and find new directions. A systematic…

As a language teacher, teacher educator and researcher, to me the name Rebecca Oxford has always been synonymous with language learning strategies across the world and specifically the theme of its teachability. Rebecca has always stated that the language teacher's role includes strategy instruction even if it achieves only partial success.…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Augmented Reality (AR) technology on vocabulary development and attitudes toward AR in pre-school English instruction. The study, which was grounded on a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design, included 36 pre-school children aged from 4 to 5. While the participants in…

Nowadays, technology is constantly evolving. The use of developing technologies in daily life brings transformation. One of the areas where transformation is inevitable is education. Developing technologies cause the emergence of new applications and paradigms in education. One of these applications is Metaverse, which have increased in popularity…

With the development and the popularization of sports dance, sports dance teaching has become a required elective course in universities. Sports dance can not only improve students' comprehensive quality, but also affect college students' healthy psychology. The use of VR (Virtual Reality) technology in dance education will definitely develop and…

In this paper we demonstrate that using mixed reality (MR) technology can innovate our chemical engineering laboratory curriculum at Prairie View A&M University, a Historically Black College/University (HBCU). Particularly, we describe the development of a MR proof of concept to carry out a traditional fluid mechanics lab -- pressure drop as a…

Spatial perspective-taking (SPT) ability positively influences performance in STEM fields. While limited research studies have been done with school students, they have yielded inconclusive findings and, hence, here we report findings from our study with an augmented reality (AR) enhanced learning environment (ARELE), GeoSolvAR, on middle-school…

Traditional pattern teaching is an important part of the art curriculum, but the pattern are complex and difficult to learn. While schema theory focuses on the integration, understanding and construction process of knowledge, AR technology can provide a three-dimensional and dynamic display of patterns, which has been used in teaching in recent…

Although many studies have investigated the possible use of virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), and augmented reality (AR), there is a lack of research that specifically focuses on educators' opinions and awareness about the usage of these technologies in educational settings. Therefore, the present research aimed to investigate…
