Mark E. Pickering; Ryan Jopp; Melissa A. Wheeler; Cheree Topple – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Advances in technology have significantly enhanced the quality of mixed-reality simulations, incorporating both real and virtual aspects. Mixed-reality simulations have been used to develop individual knowledge, skills and abilities in higher education; however, the use of such simulations to introduce authentic learning activities into higher…

Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Chang, Chun-Chun; Chien, Shu-Yun – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
Increasing learners' sense of presence is important in professional training, in particular, when aiming to foster their competences of making judgements and solving problems when facing real cases. However, in conventional training programmes, sometimes it is difficult to situate learners in real cases owing to several considerations, such as…

Chun, Dorothy M.; Karimi, Honeiah; Sañosa, David Joshua – CALICO Journal, 2022
In line with the 2021 CALICO Conference theme "Global realities," we presented a plenary on how immersive virtual reality (IVR) could be used for second language learning by allowing learners to virtually travel around the globe via headset. The main affordances of virtual reality (VR) technology include immersing learners in an…

Shadiev, Rustam; Xueying, Wang; Huang, Yueh Min – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2020
Virtual reality (VR) technology makes it possible to create an authentic virtual environment that benefits immersive learning. We designed an intercultural learning activity and applied VR technology to support it. Then, we investigated students' perceptions of the learning activity, VR technology, and intercultural competence (IC) development…

Santos, Marc Ericson C.; Lübke, Arno in Wolde; Taketomi, Takafumi; Yamamoto, Goshiro; Rodrigo, Ma. Mercedes T.; Sandor, Christian; Kato, Hirokazu – Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2016
Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to create compelling learning experiences. However, there are few research works exploring the design and evaluation of AR for educational settings. In our research, we treat AR as a type of multimedia that is situated in authentic environments and apply multimedia learning theory as a framework for…

Penn, Mafor; Ramnarain, Umesh – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
This mixed method study investigated changes in 3rd year Bachelor of Education students' attitudes towards chemistry after learning interventions with virtual chemistry simulations. After participant students identified certain concepts from their 3rd year chemistry module as being abstract and not easily comprehensible, these concepts were…
