Direct linkNeumann, Michelle M.; Keioskie, Meryl K.; Patterson, Dale; Neumann, David L. – Childhood Education, 2022
Use of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) in education has become more widespread in recent years. This article explores what VR, AR, and MR are and the benefits and barriers they may have with regard to early learning. Deepening the understandings of these digital tools will help inform principals, teachers,…

Makransky, Guido; Petersen, Gustav B. – Educational Psychology Review, 2021
There has been a surge in interest and implementation of immersive virtual reality (IVR)-based lessons in education and training recently, which has resulted in many studies on the topic. There are recent reviews which summarize this research, but little work has been done that synthesizes the existing findings into a theoretical framework. The…

Bonner, Euan; Lege, Ryan; Frazier, Erin – CALICO Journal, 2023
Virtual reality (VR) has been found to be effective for increasing student motivation and engagement (Parong & Mayer, 2018), experiential learning (Hu-Au & Lee, 2018), and even improving spatial memory (Pollard et al., 2020). However, few studies have moved beyond the novelty of single-lesson VR experiences, nor have they used VR as the…

Cook, Jim; Brown, Martin; Sellwood, Matthew; Campbell, Craig; Kouppas, Paul; Poronnik, Philip – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
This brief review provides insights into the recent advances made by the Unity game engine into education and the ways that learning resources can be used to teach novice bioscience students to use the VR/AR affordances of the platform. We present our own practises for implementation of a novel gamification task for final-year bioscience students…

Jowallah, Rohan; Bennett, Luke; Bastedo, Kathleen – Distance Learning, 2018
The purpose of this article is to examine the affordances of virtual reality systems in K-12 education. In this article, the writers will: (1) focus on the latest and future technological advances in virtual reality systems; (2) connect virtual reality advances to innovative and scaleable encounters in the K-12 space; (3) provide readers with a…

Kynigos, Chronis; Grizioti, Marianthi – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Although there is wide rhetoric that programming should be learnt by all as an element of computational thinking (CT), in practice, it is mostly implemented narrowly as an end in itself consisting of routine practice and traditional testing of the ability to code. This paper discusses a way in which programming could be seen through a wider…

Harron, Jason R.; Petrosino, Anthony J.; Jenevein, Sarah – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2019
Positioned in the context of experiential learning, this paper reports findings of a virtual reality field trip (VRFT) in conjunction with an in-person field trip involving preservice teachers in an elementary science methods course to a local natural history museum. Findings included that virtual reality (VR) is best used after a field trip to…

Nussli, Natalie; Oh, Kevin – Educational Media International, 2016
This case study describes how a systematic 7-Step Virtual Worlds Teacher Training Workshop guided the enculturation of 18 special education teachers into three-dimensional virtual worlds. The main purpose was to enable these teachers to make informed decisions about the usability of virtual worlds for students with social skills challenges, such…

Pellas, Nikolaos; Kazanidis, Ioannis; Konstantinou, Nikolaos; Georgiou, Georgia – Education and Information Technologies, 2017
The present literature review builds on the results of 50 research articles published from 2000 until 2016. All these studies have successfully accomplished various learning tasks in the domain of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education using three-dimensional (3-D) multi-user virtual worlds for Primary, Secondary and…

Levak, Natasha; Son, Jeong-Bae – ReCALL, 2017
Learning how to comprehend while listening to a second language is often considered by learners to be a difficult process that can lead to anxiety when trying to communicate (Graham, 2006; Graham & Macaro, 2008). Computer-mediated communication (CMC) can be used to assist in increasing access to native speakers and opportunities to listen.…

This study explores teaching experiences of educators within the virtual world of Second Life (SL) and pedagogical practices adopted. A blended approach is applied by using physical classrooms, BlackboardTM, web-based resources, and the virtual world of SL in an Information Literacy (IL) class for 1st year undergraduate students at an institution…
