Gu, Peidi; Xu, Xinhao; Qian, Xueqin; Weng, Tsung-Han – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Multiple studies have examined learning and training for autistic students to improve their quality of life by using eXtended-Reality (XR) technologies, which mainly include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). Nevertheless, little is known about how technical features and technology affordances of the XR…

Sdravopoulou, Konstantina; Castillo, Juan Jesús Gutiérrez; González, Juan Manuel Muñoz – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
There is a significant body of research in "naturalistic designs" of augmented reality (AR), concerning different fields (medicine, education, arts etc). Although naturalistic approaches have the potential to enable new forms of experiencing and experimenting with AR technologies, it remains unclear how they can impact participants'…

Bos, Andreia S.; Herpich, Fabrício; Kuhn, Igor; Guarese, Renan L. M.; Tarouco, Liane M. R.; Zaro, Milton A.; Pizzato, Michelle; Wives, Leandro – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
In the course of a teaching and learning process, different cognitive skills are required for a student. Attention is an important variable to be measured, since it plays a fundamental role in the accumulation of information with the stimulus of the learner's memory in the course of the assimilation of knowledge. The purpose of this article is to…

Suarez-Warden, Fernando; Barrera, Salvador – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
Communicative learning progress in industry and education must gain focus and commitment otherwise innovation efforts by new technologies and recent researches will produce scarce results. Frequently, it appears gaps in quality and efficiency due to lack of ideas assimilation, matter that can be noticed. Investigators may discourse about platforms…

Marsh, Jackie – Reading Research Quarterly, 2011
This study examined the literacy practices of children ages 5-11 as they engaged in out-of-school use of virtual worlds. The purpose of the study was to explore the nature, purpose, and role of literacy in children's use of a virtual world. In this article, I reflect on how children's use of literacy practices in the virtual world constructed and…

Lloyd, Margaret – Journal of Learning Design, 2010
There is a "reality" to being online which we know to be false. We are simultaneously "there" but "not there" as we talk, work and play with others in online spaces. We move between physical and virtual spaces in ways that realise the predictions made for computers in the mid-20th Century and enact scenarios from science fiction. We are left…
