The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of using gamification implemented in immersive virtual reality for the promotion of library services in the university library including knowledge acquisition, knowledge retention and user engagement. In terms of research procedure, we divided the participants into Gamified and…

Most of humanity's important and difficult problems such as pandemics, environmental health, and social unrest require recognizing and understanding complex systems. Students often have difficulty understanding complex systems concepts and previous research indicates that scaffolded computer simulations may facilitate learning. Few studies,…

Introduction: Activities that illuminate the psychological underpinnings of privilege and oppression are an important part of social justice pedagogy. Statement of Problem: There are numerous issues with current simulations of privilege and oppression that leave social justice educators limited in the choice of activity. Literature Review:…

Business simulation games (BSG) offer a unique opportunity to provide students with hands-on experience in a simulated business environment. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of BSG in promoting entrepreneurial intentions and competencies among undergraduate students. The study was conducted with 48 students, who participated in BSG as…

Nursing students faced learning losses during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the transition to virtual classes, inadequate communication, and reliance on virtual clinical training as a prerequisite for clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate the extent of learning loss experienced by nursing students and examine the impact of…

Nursing education relies on simulation to provide standardized, safe clinical experiences to prepare nurses for complex patient scenarios. Traditional simulation requires cost-prohibitive equipment and facilities, which are incompatible with complex scenarios and distance learning. Early studies indicate eXtended Reality technology is an effective…

Digital electronics is a fundamental subject for engineering students, and it enables the students to learn design-based approaches and solve complex engineering problems. Students learn about minimization techniques for reducing the hardware components and size of the circuit by solving complex Boolean equations. The Karnaugh map (K-map) is one…

In construction technology education (CTE), construction site tours play an essential role for undergraduate students to obtain familiarity with construction environments, combine content knowledge with practice, and develop their competencies to embrace construction innovations before entering the industry. Implementing real construction site…

Student perception is an essential component in education; especially in engineering courses, which involve complex spatial processes, manipulation and interpretation of graphs, diagrams, and concepts. Incorporation of special training instructions improve spatial skills of learners, assisting them to acquire enhanced conceptual knowledge. Through…

Overweight and obesity rates continue to rise and appear unlikely to abate. While physical activity (PA) is an important contributor to health and successful weight maintenance, exercise science and health students (ESHS) often endorse negative weight status biases that could undermine PA promotion. This experiential learning activity was intended…

The aim of this study is to examine whether students of a sport management undergraduate course can gain knowledge in the management of a professional soccer club, by participating in a commercial serious game. Serious is considered the cyber game that its purpose exceeds entertainment. For this case study, the serious sport club management game…

The manuscripts in this collection expand the current research on the experience of undergraduate science students with virtual reality laboratories. A systematic literature review and synthesis involving 21 peer-reviewed empirical articles (2009-2018) revealed a dearth of theoretical and methodological approaches exploring VR Labs, which centered…

Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore aspects of learning in terms of gain in knowledge, confidence and empathy with immersive virtual reality (VR) from the patient perspective in undergraduate nursing students. Design/methodology/approach: A pilot study integrating immersive VR experiences during clinical courses was facilitated based on…

Background/Significance: Self-confidence and self-efficacy among undergraduate nursing students in a simulation are necessary components of measurement within the curriculum. Exploring strategies to improve clinical competence, self-confidence, and knowledge is essential. Local Problem: Currently, faculty within a small faith-based University…

This study explores allied health undergraduate students' experiences learning human anatomy through Augmented Reality (AR) technology compared to other modalities in a private university. The research used multivariate analysis to measure and understand the impact of AR on the learning of human anatomy by undergraduate allied health students,…
