Shufan Yu; Qingtang Liu; Jingjing Ma; Huixiao Le; Shen Ba – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Augmented reality (AR) recently shows great potential to facilitate students' learning, especially their learning performance and motivation. However, few studies considered learners' emotional factors such as learning anxiety, which may influence the learning results. This study aims to explore how different experimental conditions (AR &…

Shalaunda M. Reeves; Charlotte A. Bolch; Richard T. Bex II; Kent J. Crippen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Recently, interest in understanding the prospects of virtual environments, specifically virtual reality laboratories (VR Lab) -- those that involve a first-person practica experience via a desktop computer or head-mounted display -- in science education has increased. Seemingly ingrained in the process of implementing a VR Lab is a supposition of…

James Planey; Taehyun Kim; Emma Mercier; Robb Lindgren – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Immersive technologies have the potential to play unique roles in the collaborative problem-solving process. To advance research in these contexts, new methods of documenting group collaboration with technology are necessary. The goal of this paper is to develop and utilize a coding scheme that enables investigation of the nature of collaborative…

Winkelmann, Kurt; Keeney-Kennicutt, Wendy; Fowler, Debra; Lazo Macik, Maria; Perez Guarda, Paola; Joan Ahlborn, Connor – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
Virtual worlds are increasingly popular in educational settings. In order to further usefulness in providing a laboratory education, almost 300 students participated in a study to determine the relative learning gains and attitudes related to performing two chemistry experiments in either the virtual world of Second Life (SL) or a real world…

Toth, Eva Erdosne; Ludvico, Lisa R.; Morrow, Becky L. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2014
This study examined the characteristics of virtual and hands-on inquiry environments for the development of blended learning in a popular domain of bio-nanotechnology: the separation of different-sized DNA fragments using gel-electrophoresis, also known as DNA-fingerprinting. Since the latest scientific developments in nano- and micro-scale tools…
