Furniture assembly is often perceived as a confusing and demotivating task, especially when relying on traditional manuals and/or online videos, which can be mis. Do It Yourself (DIY) furniture manufacturing can be even more challenging, as it requires not only assembly steps but also material fabrication stages, often demanding access to advanced…

Background: Virtual reality (VR) provides a unique immersive teaching experience and brings significant changes to existing education models. However, barriers may influence the resistance to and non-adoption of VR. Objectives: Grounded in innovation resistance theory (IRT), this study thus examined the resistance attitudes and non-adoption…

In recent years, virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been widely adopted across various sectors of society, including education. We conducted a practical study to assess the effectiveness of immersive technologies in higher education institutions. The research was carried out over a period of ten weeks. Students…

This article provides a survey of methods and paradigms for teaching Computer Networks (CN). Since the theoretical concepts are rather abstract in this subject, and students often find them too technical and difficult to understand, many authors attempt to answer the question on how to improve students' motivation and interest for the complex…

Biology and biochemistry students must learn to visualize and comprehend the complex three-dimensional (3D) structures of macromolecules such as proteins or DNA. However, most tools available for teaching biomolecular structures typically operate in two dimensions. Here, we present protocols and pedagogical approaches for using immersive augmented…

Educational robotics (ER) seems to have a positive effect on students and, in many cases, might help them to successfully assimilate knowledge and skills. Thus, this paper focuses on ER and carries out a literature review on educational robotics simulators with Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). The review searches for relevant papers which were…

The concept of distance education has become even more substantial in the days when humanity is having difficult times with pandemic. Besides, there is an idea that education will have transformed when the life after pandemic starts. Aim of this research is to discuss artificial intelligence-supported or artificial intelligence-based education,…

This study aimed to examine the methodological trends of studies using the Augmented Reality (AR) technology in mathematics education and reveal basic findings obtained from the studies. In this context, a systematic review process was conducted in the Web of Science database and 86 studies obtained as a consequence were reviewed. In this…

Aim/Purpose: This article presents a comprehensive rubric for evaluating educational virtual reality experiences for mobile devices. The aim of this article is to systematically analyze research to address the quality of virtual reality experiences on mobile applications in order to extend the work of Lee and Cherner (2015) and their instructional…

Virtual and augmented reality have seen increasing employment for teaching within medical and health sciences programs. For disciplines such as physiology and anatomy, these technologies may disrupt the traditional modes of teaching and content delivery. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the impact of virtual…

Proper chemical process simulation knowledge is valuable for senior chemical engineering students to deliver optimal design outcomes and achieve many learning objectives. This study aims to highlight the benefits of continuous improvements and innovations in chemical engineering's undergraduate curriculum. In particular, curriculum restructuring…

Chinese traditional art education plays a unique role in transmitting traditional culture and in developing social civilization but is limited by the monotony of the teaching model structure, its inflexibility in learning time and space, constraints in the teaching scale, and lack of immersive experience. This article discusses the application of…

My multi-article dissertation explores the utility of immersive media like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) in design learning and education, particularly as we recover from the social, technological, and cultural disruptions caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic. Chapter 2 clarifies how the multiple modalities…

As part of COVID-19 preparedness, a student-developed, Android-based app was used as a pre-laboratory learning aid for a molecular modeling laboratory in a first-year general chemistry course. A worksheet activity with trigger codes and questions related to spatial features of transition metal complexes was designed. Using the Transition Metal…

Several studies have shown that Swedish students' reading comprehension and ability to understand fiction are decreasing year by year. Numerous alarming reports point to the unsustainable situation concerning young people's reading engagement, but the ideas of how it can be remedied are few. This study aims to investigate and evaluate a didactic…
