This article addresses the need for empirical research comparing students' experiences of learning in different hybrid spaces in higher education that blend digital spaces, physical spaces and learning interactions. We focus on hybrid spaces formed around Zoom, non-immersive virtual reality (VR), and on-campus with a telepresence robot (TPR)…

The poles are recognized as the northernmost and southernmost points on Earth. These extremes are defined differently in terms of cartography, magnetism, geography, and the polar star. In Turkey, numerous activities have been carried out concerning the polar regions, such as the establishment of a scientific research camp and meteorological…
