Immersive technologies have gained attention in design pedagogy due to their potential as effective tools for teaching and learning. Virtual reality (VR) has been extensively explored in the design discipline for tasks such as interpretation, visualization, and collaboration. However, most applications of VR have focused on replacing traditional…

Introduction: Media comparison studies examining the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality in education have yielded inconclusive findings, leaving the question of its impact on learning compared to conventional media unanswered. To address this issue, our study employs a novel approach that combines media comparison with an investigation on…

While common, computer presentations given during classroom lectures do not always improve learning effects; thus, this study incorporated three elements into technology-assisted classroom lectures: emphasis, augmentation, and integration. These three elements cannot be implemented simultaneously when using PowerPoint (PPT) presentations during…

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…

Simulated learning environments have rapidly evolved in recent years and are gaining traction as an effective tool in teacher education (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership, 2023; Frei-Landau et al., 2023). This paper explores the use of virtual classroom simulation in initial teacher education at an Australian university. It…

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…

Several alternatives to formalin-stored physical specimens have been described in medical literature, but only a few studies have addressed the issue of learning outcomes when these materials were employed. The aim of this study was to conduct a prospective controlled study to assess student performance in learning anatomic pathology when adding…

This study is based on assessing the potential of augmented reality (AR) and infographics in science learning, emphasizing the synergistic effect on improving learning. The study investigates the impact of the combination of AR and infographic design on learning biology. Seventy-five 10th grade male students participated in this study, which…

Combining classical educational methods with interactive three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology has great power to support and provide students with a unique opportunity to use them in the study process, training, and/or simulation of different medical procedures in terms of a Human Anatomy course. In 2016, Riga Stradinš University (RSU)…

The state of virtual reality (VR) development is mature enough to be explored for application in various fields including higher education teaching, research, and training including engineering education. Traditionally, engineering education relied on diagrams and images to describe various systems and objects, sometimes accompanied by laboratory…

As an important branch of mathematics, geometry plays a very significant role in developing students' thinking, but many students need to improve their geometric thinking abilities, especially in understanding graphics and forms. Therefore, it is worthwhile to explore techniques and methods for developing students' geometric thinking, and…

In recent years, 3D holographic technology (3DHT) has attracted more and more attention from the field of education, bringing new opportunities to reform the delivery of instruction and learning. Whether the application of 3D holographic technology can effectively improve student learning performance has become a pendent issue. In this study, a…

The incorporation of technology has revolutionized the education industry, with augmented reality (AR) being one of the emerging technologies that exhibit great potential in educational settings. This study examines the efficacy of AR in enhancing vocabulary learning and retention among young 5th-grade learners. This study was conducted with 56…

Whole number computations are a critical skill that serves as a foundation upon which higher-order concepts in mathematics are taught to children. To facilitate their instruction, educators often use multiple representations to support a child's cognition. Representations with physical manipulatives are widely studied through a graduated…

This experiment utilized advanced visualization technology for the delivery of an introductory remote sensing lesson in an undergraduate geography course. Given the numerous immersive visualization solutions available, it is now possible to leverage the capabilities of augmented, mixed, and virtual reality (AR, MR, and VR) technology in a…
