This article explores the integration of virtual reality (VR) in medical education, highlighting its transformative potential and benefits over traditional teaching methods. While VR enhances skills acquisition and patients interaction competencies, challenges such as high upfront costs, misconceptions, and unequal access remain. The incorporation…

My personal exploration of how digital technology can support my Montessori practice has been a 20+-year journey. This journey has taken me to many places-- some fascinating, some frustrating. One place I never imagined it would take me (because I didn't even know this place existed) was to a lake in Massachusetts.

The aim of this study is to design and develop an augmented reality based mobile application (HardwARe teaching material) based on the "Computer Systems" subject outcomes in the 5th grade curriculum. In the design and development phase of the HardwARe teaching material, the design-based research (DBR) method, which is frequently…

This study aims to examine the temporal evolution and changes of research interests and trends in the educational augmented reality (AR) literature. To this end, 3718 articles published in the 2003-2022 period and indexed in the Scopus database were analyzed through machine learning-based semantic topic modeling and descriptive analysis. The…

Given the profound influence that technology has on society, shaping our behaviours, conversations, and decisions, it is essential to understand its development and nature. Obtaining a complete understanding of technology requires us to explore both the nature of technology and its historical aspects. This study examines how using supportive…

In light of today's experience economy and the forthcoming era of smart-technology and the metaverse, the aesthetic education needs to be revolutionized. In particular, integrating augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) into such courses has been proven to significantly enrich the learning experience and enhance its effectiveness. This…

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) and Augmented Reality (AR) have become greatly popular in current scenario, especially for helping students in mastering difficult subjects through a variety of different methods with the implementation of smart algorithms. There are many papers in the current literature that discuss the ITS architecture and the…

With technological advancements, the Metaverse is being used to enhance learning effects and learning experience to ensure quality education. However, current empirical studies have produced varying results. Therefore, a meta-analysis was executed, leveraging the capabilities of Version 3 of the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software to effectively…

Social distancing policies during the COVID-19 period have opened a space for interventions in the use of digital technology that was previously rejected by the public. Currently, most of the community activities have been carried out online, including those related to education, such as hosting virtual exhibitions with an educational purpose.…

As the world becomes increasingly globalized thanks, at least in part, to the ubiquity of digital technology, scholars in discourse and new media must explore the possibility of learning and composition to expand pedagogical practices and opportunities. This project uses study abroad programs and education as a test case for establishing the…

Augmented Reality (AR) has garnered significant attention in the field of education over the last two decades, with data indicating that it improves the effectiveness of teaching and learning in a variety of academic environments. There is, however, the absence of a framework that can guide the institution-wide adoption of AR in distance…

This systematic quantitative literature review (SQLR) spans from 2013 to 2023 and includes 40 research articles that meet the inclusion criteria. It explores the intersection of virtual reality (VR) and history education. This SQLR serves as a scoping of the field, discovering key contributors, publication trends, research types, geographic…

Purpose: Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are becoming increasingly interwoven into people's daily lives, with applications in fields such as science, engineering, medical, the arts, education, finance and business. While much study has been conducted in the field of VR and AR in a variety of areas, less attention has been paid to…

Virtual reality can be used to enhance education, especially in the remote context. Cross-reality interfaces can be useful for users who wish to access shared virtual spaces from different devices. Emotion recognition can then be used to supplement the lost non-verbal cues and allow teachers to address students in need. We introduce several types…

The increasing prevalence of mobile augmented reality (MAR) has garnered attention in contemporary times. However, its application within educational settings remains largely untapped, primarily due to its predominant utilization in entertainment domains. MAR presents opportunities for augmenting learning experiences, fostering enhanced…
