Jingying Chen; Junlin Hu; Kun Zhang; Xiao Zeng; Yuhao Ma; Wenrui Lu; Kai Zhang; Guangshuai Wang – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Virtual reality (VR) technology has shown great potential on intervention of social skills for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review aimed to review the application of VR in current social skills intervention targeting autistic children and evaluate its effect. After searching and screening three databases, we found 20 papers…

Yang Ding; Xiaohua Zhao; Ying Yao; Chenxi He; Rui Chai; Shuo Liu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
The objective of this study is to propose an interactive training method based on the Unity 3D platform and to evaluate its effectiveness in comparison to a video-based training method in curbing speeding behavior and promoting road safety. Based on the attributes unique to drivers with Type A behavior patterns, this study selected 36 drivers with…

I -Jui Lee; Hsiu-Ting Hsu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves social skills deficits, hindering effective communication and meaningful relationships. Prior research indicates that Augmented Reality (AR) games appeal to children with ASD for learning social skills but lack a structured framework and clear instructions for grasping social concepts. Therefore, this…

Pusey, Megan; Wong, Kok Wai; Rappa, Natasha Anne – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
This scoping review summarises the literature on resilience interventions that use interactive technology. Resilience refers to a person's mental ability to adaptively deal with challenging situations and is a key skill for dealing with challenges in life. Types of interactive technology used in resilience interventions included serious video…

Chaoying He; Jingying Chen; Kun Zhang – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Issues with joint attention, especially avoiding eye contact with others, are considered one of the core defects found in the early stages of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study is the first to use pupil reflection technology, which can be used to present an image of the participants within the virtual character's eyes on the…

Schmidt, Matthew; Schmidt, Carla; Glaser, Noah; Beck, Dennis; Lim, Mark; Palmer, Heath – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have been widely adopted in the intervention literature for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The systematic and predictable nature of ICTs make them particularly attractive for individuals with ASD. One ICT that has potential promise for individuals with ASD is virtual reality (VR).…

Novak, Elena; Johnson, Tristan E.; Tenenbaum, Gershon; Shute, Valerie J. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
The study explored instructional benefits of a storyline gaming characteristic (GC) on learning effectiveness, efficiency, and engagement with the use of an online instructional simulation for graduate students in an introductory statistics course. A storyline is a game-design element that connects scenes with the educational content. In order to…

Johnson, Mark William; Sherlock, David – Interactive Learning Environments, 2014
The Personal Learning Environment (PLE) has been presented in a number of guises over a period of 10 years as an intervention which seeks the reorganisation of educational technology through shifting the "locus of control" of technology towards the learner. In the intervening period to the present, a number of initiatives have attempted…

Jacobson, Michael J.; Taylor, Charlotte E.; Richards, Deborah – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
In this paper, we propose computational scientific inquiry (CSI) as an innovative model for learning important scientific knowledge and new practices for "doing" science. This approach involves the use of a "game-like" virtual world for students to experience virtual biological fieldwork in conjunction with using an agent-based…
