Islam, Zahid – Design and Technology Education, 2019
It is evident from previous research that learner preference, cognitive load and effective learning are interconnected. Designers' individual characteristics and preferred modality of information delivery in the design studio has direct relation to the effective use of the information delivered. This study evaluates and discusses possibilities of…

Delello, Julie A.; McWhorter, Rochell R.; Camp, Kerri M. – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2015
Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging technology that blends physical objects with virtual reality. Through the integration of digital and print media, a gap between the "on and offline" worlds are merged, radically shifting student-computer interaction in the classroom. This research examined the results of a multiple case study on the…

Wasko, Christopher – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2013
Augmented reality (AR) enhanced learning environments have been designed to teach a variety of subjects by having learners act like professionals in the field as opposed to students in a classroom. The environments, grounded in constructivist and situated learning theories, place students in a meaningful, non-classroom environment and force them…

Pellas, Nikolaos; Kazanidis, Ioannis – Education and Information Technologies, 2015
Nowadays three-dimensional (3D) multi-user virtual worlds (VWs) are the most well-known candidate platforms in Higher education. Despite the growing number of notable studies that have presented VWs as valuable platforms for the e-Education, there is still a paucity of a comparative study in order to be determined the degree of the students'…
