Dobricki, Martin; Kim, Kevin G.; Coppi, Alessia E.; Dillenbourg, Pierre; Cattaneo, Alberto – Research in Learning Technology, 2021
Virtual reality (VR) may be useful for situating school-based vocational education in work-life by simulating a work situation such that learners viewing this VR work situation are located inside it. The reason for this assumption is that VR can fully spatially include its viewer. Research on the utility of viewer-including VR work situations for…
