Magnitude information, for instance, regarding weight, distance, or velocity, is crucial for planning goal-directed interactions. Accordingly, magnitude information, including numerical magnitude, can affect actions: Responses to small numbers are faster with the left hand than the right and vice versa (hand-based SNARC effect). Previous…

Background: Complex skills, like analytical thinking, are essential in preparing students for future professions. Serious games hold potential to stimulate the online acquisition of such professional skills in an active and experiential way. Objective: Rubrics are proven assessment and evaluation instruments, but were never directly integrated…

As technology advances, virtual museums have gained popularity as a new form of learning resources. However, persuading audiences to absorb and comprehend a tremendous volume of information in an unregulated online environment is the challenge. Considering the use of an online application in educational practice, collaborative teamwork can be…

Simulation-based learning has the potential to foster a transformative learning culture within the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) environment. This report is based on a research project, integrating a simulation into a digital ODL classroom, conducted in Wawasan Open University, an ODL university in Malaysia. The report highlights how a…

This study explores the interplay between perceived organizational e-readiness (POE) and perceived External E-Readiness (PEE) in the adoption and integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in Malaysian higher education institutions. The study employs a reflective Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) model, anchored…

Virtual reality (VR) based simulation is emerging as an innovative tool for the training and education of healthcare professionals. However, pedagogical frameworks specific to this type of simulation are yet missing. This paper explores participants' experiences with VR-based simulation training in non-technical skills (VR-SIMI) and integrates…

COVID-19 has caused major disruptions in the way engineering education is conducted all over the world. The impact has been greater in developing countries that still lack the necessary tools for pandemic-based training. In this work, we carry out a survey on three public universities based in Zambia. The survey investigates the impact of COVID-19…

HOBIT, which stands for "Hybrid Optical Bench for Innovative Teaching and learning" is an educational platform that leverages the combination of numerical simulation and physical manipulation to facilitate learning of complex phenomena and motivate users about wave optics in practical work. HOBIT operates in real time and is…

As virtual reality (VR) becomes more commonly used in education, it is important to understand the technology's weakness and mitigate any potential negative effects on student success. One adverse side-effect of VR use is simulation-induced motion sickness, known in the context of VR as VR sickness. Previous research by Howard and Van Zandt (2021)…

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has become a powerful tool for Second Language (L2) learning, but few studies have explored the factors influencing learners' experiences and intentions, particularly in developing countries like India. The purpose of the study is to reveal both the reception of VR technology for L2 learning in India and the factors…

Enzymes are nature's catalysts, mediating chemical processes in living systems. The study of enzyme function and mechanism includes defining the maximum catalytic rate and affinity for substrate/s (among other factors), referred to as enzyme kinetics. Enzyme kinetics is a staple of biochemistry curricula and other disciplines, from molecular and…

Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn and educate, enhancing and supplementing the traditional learning experience by providing new ways to interact with information and people. However, its full potential in education has yet to be fully realized, as work in this space requires resolving cutting-edge technical…

Online teaching has drastically increased over recent years. Although presentation of teaching videos in 360-degree on Virtual Reality headsets was shown to be more immersive than 2D videos, it is under debate whether people learn better from immersive 360-degree videos or 2D videos. The current preregistered study aimed to compare students'…

This study aims to reveal pre-service teachers' experience in virtual museum design that they can use in social studies teaching, and their opinions on virtual museum applications. In line with this purpose, phenomenology design was used as one of the qualitative research approaches. Selected by the criterion sampling method, the study sample…

The study investigates the impact of virtual reality technologies on the training of managers in the tourism industry using the ATLAS platform. A survey conducted among 300 professionals in the tourism sector in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Jordan allowed for the identification of differences in the perception of virtual training among Russian and…
