Herrington, Jan; Reeves, Thomas C.; Oliver, Ron – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2007
The development of immersive learning technologies in the form of virtual reality and advanced computer applications has meant that realistic creations of simulated environments are now possible. Such simulations have been used to great effect in training in the military, air force, and in medical training. But how realistic do problems need to be…
