Past applications of virtual reality (VR) and related research have provided evidence that VR technology is helpful for educational and training purposes and that it can be used as a therapeutic measure. Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) may, therefore, be beneficial in reducing public speaking anxiety (PSA), which is a very common…

Memory palaces are effective tools for learning vast amounts of information in a canonical order using mnemonics. However, our review of the literature revealed a lack of implementation and user study of memory palace in Virtual Reality (VR) for neuroscience education. VR technology enables us to build highly interactive virtual learning spaces…

The field of education is facing critical shortages in qualified teachers. Preservice students are limited in field experience by their teacher preparation location and proximity to diverse populations. Many colleges and university tasked with teacher preparation are seeking post-pandemic solutions to teacher preparation which potentially involve…

A virtual reality learning unit for the functioning of a router is used to show how students at bachelor level can be provided with another teaching tool in the future, whereby the didactic approach of a change of perspective makes optimal use of the advantages of virtual reality and should enable a more profound understanding. Further studies are…

The authors developed, implemented, and evaluated a digital simulation game for media education in teacher training. The aim of the simulation game is to simulate decision-making processes in schools for the implementation of hybrid teaching in the context of the pandemic. The question is whether the participation in a digital simulation games…

It is important to make car-drivers improve their way of looking for recognizing key objects or areas precisely. This study designs a system following such a motivation that distinguishes several areas in a display with weights of importance. A present proposing function for successful area detection offers drivers an opportunity to compare their…

This paper outlines a proposal to use smartphones and counterfactual reasoning to overcome rote and passive learning. Some historians and history teachers have highlighted the usefulness of counterfactual reasoning for a deeper understanding of the past. In a classroom history simulation, it is proposed here that counterfactuals can be developed…

This paper presents an ongoing development process for an experimental application that aims to train an inexperienced user to operate a mobile device and receive Augmented Reality (AR) guidelines for basic pick-and-place operations. The purpose of the presented work is to offer a learning environment for placing multiple physical tools in…

Simulation-based learning environments have been proposed by researchers, as educational tools to support learning in complex business systems. However, studies have evidenced that subjects may nevertheless have great difficulty understanding and managing dynamic systems. Previous research has revealed positive learning and performance effects of…

In some low-resource settings, there are several challenges such as financial crisis, inadequate infrastructure facilities, personal skills efficiency and motivation that contribute or hinder the success of virtualization in an industry. This study investigates the factors that could influence the success of virtualization requirement in the…

In this article we describe how mobile devices enable immersive learning experiences. Expensive Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) are a thing of the past, as even inexpensive alternatives in combination with a smartphone make it possible to immerse oneself in virtual worlds. Learners then take these worlds as realistic, which can lead to cognitively…

Recently, the number of learners of Japanese as a foreign language (JFL) has been increasing. In Japanese language acquisition, compound verbs (verbs that are composed of two verbs, e.g., tobikomu 'jump into') are frequently used in daily life; these present difficulties, including unclarity of combination and opacity of meaning. Matsuda (2001)…

Decades-old research has demonstrated the effects of virtual space on perception mostly with adult samples. Little is known about children's ability to utilize spatial-temporal qualities from computerized settings. Past research with primary school children suggested that the ability to utilize spatial-temporal information is crucial for inferring…

This study presents an innovative approach to promoting the international attractiveness of the University of Turin (UniTo) through synergy with the University of the West Timi?oara in the "UNITorientA" project. In particular, the focus is developing a gamified virtual tour to offer students an interactive immersion in university spaces.…

Mexico is a country where seismic events occur in a daily basis. Since 1990, the national seismological service has reported various earthquakes, in some cases they usually imperceptible, it doesn't ensure that the population cannot be injured, there for, it is important to keep the entire population informed and prepared in the event of an…
