Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) can help students visualise and explore complex chemical concepts, such as protein enzyme structures and interactions. We designed a set of collaborative iVR-based learning tasks on the interaction between a protein enzyme and its substrate. We investigated how 18 pairs (36 students) in undergraduate chemistry…

Matovu, Henry; Won, Mihye; Treagust, David Franklin; Ungu, Dewi Ayu Kencana; Mocerino, Mauro; Tsai, Chin-Chung; Tasker, Roy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
In recent years, chemistry educators are increasingly adopting immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology to help learners visualise molecular interactions. However, educational studies on IVR mostly investigated its usability and user perceptions leaving out its impact on improving conceptual understanding. If they evaluated students' knowledge…
