This study examined whether answering focused explanative questions during pauses in an immersive virtual reality (IVR) lesson on pipetting procedures could enhance learning. The goal was to take a generative learning activity, known to be effective for declarative knowledge with conventional media, to the context of procedural knowledge with…

The immersive experience and diverse interaction modes provided by virtual digital technology match the spatial sensitivity and practical ability required in the field of architectural teaching, and its technological advantages can significantly enhance teaching outcomes. However, in the field of architecture teaching, there has been a lack of…

This pretest/posttest experimental design study investigated the use of virtual reality to teach school counseling students empathy, as measured by the Empathy Quotient. An independent samples and paired-samples t-test were used to analyze students' scores in the experimental and control groups. The study's results are discussed.

Because of the recent pandemic, new teaching methods have been trialed, even in traditional disciplines such as histopathology that typically involve extensive hands-on laboratory work. In this study, we investigated the effects of three different learning modalities in histopathology teaching: optical microscopy, in-class virtual microscopy (VM),…

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…

Fostering students' knowledge and courage to face illegal or immoral problems is a critical aim in educational settings. However, it is challenging for students who lack knowledge and social experience to comprehend the sins behind the immoral cases and have the moral courage to deal with those problems. Therefore, in the present study, an…

Purpose: This paper presents an educational virtual reality (VR) game and experiments with different methods of including it into the teaching process. The purpose of this research study is to discover if immersive VR games can be used as an effective pedagogical tool if blended with traditional lectures by assisting learning gain, memory and…

The use of the metaverse in education has gained increasing attention as a potential supplement to traditional teaching methods. This study aimed to investigate the impact of experiential learning on students' intent to use metaverse learning platforms and to explore how the metaverse can support these approaches. The study included participants…

In the era of multimedia digital education, virtual reality (VR) technologies have become extremely popular teaching tools. The research compares the learning outcomes of the VR students group using the VR4EDU virtual reality application with the learning outcomes of the control students group taking the traditional online music lessons. The…

A hologram tutor is an instructional medium that has promising potential to serve as a substitute for actual teachers in classroom learning. Commonly, actual humans are used as the characters for the hologram tutor. Doubtlessly, this choice has its own advantages. However, in terms of development, it involves difficult and complicated steps.…

The integration of augmented reality (AR) and game-based learning could increase interaction in educational games and provide more learning guidance in higher education courses. This study developed an AR educational board game that featured cognitive scaffolding, immediate feedback, and collaborative interaction. The study also analyzed and…

Practical laboratory sessions are essential for engineering education, demanding efficient use of limited time. In recent years, Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have introduced Virtual Laboratories (VLs), offering the potential to enhance students' educational experience. Despite their potential, VLs are rarely utilised in civil engineering…

Along with increasing the complexity of learning objectives, the traditional Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are insufficient in improving students' learning achievement. Advanced VLEs can be created to overcome this challenge by combining traditional VLEs with Virtual Lab Network Simulation (Vilanets) learning media. This research, conducted…

Purpose: Sustainability is one of the global challenges, individuals and businesses need to change their behavior and consumption patterns to move towards sustainable development. This is not possible without planning for education and related knowledge transfer. On the other hand, disruptive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) have…

Purpose: This study isolates the effect of immersion on players' learning in a virtual reality (VR)-based game about cellular biology by comparing two versions of the game with the same level of interactivity and different levels of immersion. The authors identify immersion and additional interactivity as two key affordances of VR as a learning…
