Due to the features of immersive learning and without the restrictions of time and place, virtual reality (VR) is commonly used in learning areas. For investigating functional design in the VR learning environment, previous literature proposed a series of theoretical models and strategies without considering the key factors for their development.…

A model is proposed to assess the effect of different content representation design principles on learners' intuitive beliefs about using e-learning. We hypothesized that the impact of the representation of course contents is mediated by the design principles of alignment, quantity, clarity, simplicity, and affordance, which influence the…

While most current educational simulation games provide learners with gameplay experience to motivate learning, there is often a lack of focus on ensuring that the desired content knowledge is actually learned. Students may focus on completing game activities without learning the targeted content knowledge, thus negating the desired learning…
