Chris Hovey – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation examines the affective qualities of non-player character motion in a Virtual Reality (VR) cognitive training game, their impact on players' core affective experiences, game performance, and cognitive training outcomes. How do the movements of game characters in a VR environment affect players' experienced emotions, gameplay…

Ieva Gintere; Emmanouel Rovithis; Ágnes Karolina Bakk; Alvis Misjuns – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2024
The study presents the authors' research for the purpose of designing ImGame, a virtual environment inviting users to playfully learn about the concept of immersion and its historical antecedents. The authors describe ImGame's current pre-production stage and examine the basic characteristics of the feeling of immersion. They intend to deepen the…

Lugthart, Sarah; van Dartel, Michel – European Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Situated learning could benefit STEAM education because both aim to develop skills that can deal with complex real-life situations. Although ample research has been conducted into situated learning within higher vocational education in general, there exists little research on the implementation of the educational approach in STEAM education…

Bosch, Chancey; Ellis, Trevor – Journal of Global Education and Research, 2021
Technology-enhanced learning continues to provide opportunities for increased interventions in educational programing. For teacher education programs, novelty pales in comparison to providing meaningful instruction and enduring outcomes. The use of avatars has provided integration of research evidence that increases intended behaviors; however,…

Charalambous, Charalambos Y. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Attempts to better conceptualize and measure teacher knowledge, and through that examine its association to instructional quality have been intensified over the past decades. Despite the progress made, a review of pertinent literature points to four challenges related to studying this association: "proximity" (i.e., the extent to which…

Buchner, Josef; Zumbach, Jörg – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
In this study the impact of a mobile augmented reality learning environment on motivation, learning effects and cognitive load was tested. Students participated in a two-hour history lesson while using their smartphones to turn static pictures into animations with an Augmented Reality (AR) application. Interest, perceived competence and perceived…

Weng, Cathy; Rathinasabapathi, Abirami; Weng, Apollo; Zagita, Cindy – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
This study aimed to explore whether the integration of virtual reality and augmented reality used in a specially designed science book could improve the students' science concept learning outcomes. A true experimental research design was conducted to check the effectiveness of the specially designed book in terms of learners' achievement. The…

Lau, Kung Wong; Kan, Chi Wai; Lee, Pui Yuen – International Journal of Information and Learning Technology, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of stereoscopic virtual technology in textile and fashion studies in particular to the area of chemical experiment. The development of a designed virtual platform, called Stereoscopic Chemical Laboratory (SCL), is introduced. Design/methodology/approach: To implement the suggested…

Álvarez-Rúa, Carmen; Borge, Javier – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Thermodynamic processes are complex phenomena that can be understood as a set of successive stages. When treating processes, classical thermodynamics (and most particularly, the Gibbsian formulation, predominantly used in chemistry) only pays attention to initial and final states. However, reintroducing the notion of process is absolutely…

Bassford, Marie L.; Crisp, Annette; O'Sullivan, Angela; Bacon, Joanne; Fowler, Mark – Research in Learning Technology, 2016
Interactive experiences are rapidly becoming popular via the surge of "escape rooms"; part game and part theatre, the "escape" experience is exploding globally, having gone from zero offered at the outset of 2010 to at least 2800 different experiences available worldwide today. CrashEd is an interactive learning experience that…

Mather, Richard – IAFOR Journal of Education, 2015
This paper explores the application of canonical gradient analysis to evaluate and visualize student performance and acceptance of a learning system platform. The subject of evaluation is a first year BSc module for computer programming. This uses "Ceebot," an animated and immersive game-like development environment. Multivariate…

Wong, Mona; Castro-Alonso, Juan C.; Ayres, Paul; Paas, Fred – Educational Technology & Society, 2015
Humans have an evolved embodied cognition that equips them to deal easily with the natural movements of object manipulations. Hence, learning a manipulative task is generally more effective when watching animations that show natural motions of the task, rather than equivalent static pictures. The present study was completed to explore this…

Fassbender, Eric; Richards, Deborah; Bilgin, Ayse; Thompson, William Forde; Heiden, Wolfgang – Computers & Education, 2012
Game technology has been widely used for educational applications, however, despite the common use of background music in games, its effect on learning has been largely unexplored. This paper discusses how music played in the background of a computer-animated history lesson affected participants' memory for facts. A virtual history lesson was…

Thomassen, Aukje; Rive, Pete – Learning, Media and Technology, 2010
The theory and lessons of knowledge exchange, in both a physical and virtual environment, suggest a framework for understanding the specific requirements for a digital design class in "Second Life". Through teaching and observing students who were asked to complete a machinima project, our research provided examples of the strengths and…

Rigas, Dimitrios; Alharbi, Abdulrhman – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2011
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the usability (effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction) of e-feedback interfaces. The experiment compares a traditional visual approach with a multimodal approach in order to determine the impact of multimodal metaphors upon the user's understanding, reasoning and engagement with the…
