Alblehai, Fahad M. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
The application of different virtual reality interventions has been recently gaining interest from researchers and practitioners. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions increased the use of these technologies to help create much value for educators and students. The relationship between individual experience and…

Zhao, Jiayan; Wallgrün, Jan Oliver; Sajjadi, Pejman; LaFemina, Peter; Lim, Kenneth Y. T.; Springer, Jan P.; Klippel, Alexander – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Virtual and immersive virtual reality, VR and iVR, provide flexible and engaging learning opportunities, such as virtual field trips (VFTs). Despite its growing popularity for education, understanding how iVR compared to non-immersive media influences learning is still challenged by mixed empirical results and a lack of longitudinal research. This…

Nihalani, Priya K.; Robinson, Daniel H. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
We sought to identify factors that optimize individual learning in complex, technology-enhanced learning environments. Undergraduates viewed tutorials and played a simulation-based game either alone or in groups and in either high or low cognitive load sequences and later took tests measuring comprehension of tutorials and transfer of computer…

Huang, Yueh-Min; Silitonga, Lusia M.; Murti, Astrid T.; Wu, Ting-Ting – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are reliable predictors of success in school and the workplace. A typical technique for encouraging higher-order thinking is to use instructional design interventions that engage learners in simple cognitive activities. Business simulation game (BSG) is one of the types of interactive learning environments that…

Ying-Lien Lin; Wei-Tsong Wang – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
Virtual-reality business simulation games (VRBSGs) have garnered attention in management education. However, investigating the design of efficient VRBSGs from an integrated perspective of social cognitive, self-determination, and cognitive load theories is crucial but under-addressed. Therefore, this study developed a VRBSG learning system to…

Xu, Xinhao; Wang, Fang – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
This paper reports an immersive virtual reality lab (iVRLab) training environment that offers college students an immersive and embodied experience in engineering lab work. The iVRLab provides a simple and safe environment for students to learn the complex lab operations to process and prepare silicon wafers. It features highly embodied…

Abouelenein, Yousri Attia Mohamed; Nagy Elmaadaway, Mohamed Ali – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
The current study aims to determine the effect of teaching a mechanic neuro-computerized course through virtual learning environments (VLE) to develop computational thinking among mathematics pre-service teachers. The neuro-computerized virtual learning environments (NCVLE) model was designed to be used to teach the mechanics course to third-year…

Schroeder, Noah L.; Chiou, Erin K.; Siegle, Robert F.; Craig, Scotty D. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Virtual humans are on-screen characters that are often embedded in learning technologies to deliver educational content. Little research has investigated how virtual humans can be used to correct common misconceptions. In this study, we explored how different types of narrative structures, refutation text and expository text, influence perceptions…

Davis, Phillip E.; Fox, Corey J.; DeBode, Jason D.; Peterson, Lori T. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
A key challenge for educators in business is to incorporate learning tools that mimic the uncertainty and complexity of the real business environment. However, recent advancements in technology have offered new tools that address this challenge. One such increasingly popular tool has been computer simulations. While the use of simulations has…

Fang, Ning; Guo, Yongqing – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computer simulation and animation (CSA) is educational technology in which computer programs are employed to simulate and animate real-world physical phenomena and processes. CSA has attracted growing attention and received an increasing number of applications in the international science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education…

Klippel, Alexander; Zhao, Jiayan; Jackson, Kathy Lou; La Femina, Peter; Stubbs, Chris; Wetzel, Ryan; Blair, Jordan; Wallgrün, Jan Oliver; Oprean, Danielle – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
The value of field trips is undisputed across disciplines. Field-site visits whether in social or physical sciences provide grounding for place- and discovery-based learning. Yet field trips have limitations that can now be overcome by the promise of immersive technologies that can improve quality and accessibility. This promise is twofold: First,…

Huang, Wen; Roscoe, Rod D.; Craig, Scotty D.; Johnson-Glenberg, Mina C. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Virtual reality (VR) has a high potential to facilitate education. However, the design of many VR learning applications was criticized for lacking the guidance of explicit and appropriate learning theories. To advance the use of VR in effective instruction, this study proposed a model that extended the cognitive-affective theory of learning with…

Kim, Heesung; Ke, Fengfeng – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
The pedagogical and design considerations for the use of a virtual reality (VR) learning environment are important for prospective and current teachers. However, empirical research investigating how preservice teachers interact with transformative content representation, facilitation, and learning activities in a VR educational simulation is still…

Karaoglan Yilmaz, Fatma Gizem – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2017
Today, the use of social network-based virtual learning communities is increasing rapidly in terms of knowledge management. An important dynamic of knowledge management processes is the knowledge sharing behaviors (KSB) in community. The purpose of this study is to examine the KSB of the students in a Facebook-based virtual community created…
