Melinda Russell-Stamp; Jean R. Norman; Kennedy Parker – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2025
Role-playing using avatars has been demonstrated as effective, but it has not been compared to role-playing with a live actor. In this study, undergraduate psychology students (N=93) conducted a clinical interview in a role-play with an avatar or live actor. Mixed methods included a survey and written reflection. The study found no differences in…

Areum Lee – English Teaching, 2025
The semi-direct speaking test format has limitations, particularly due to its lack of situational authenticity and contextualized input. To address this issue, virtual reality (VR) can be integrated into speaking proficiency tests to enhance authenticity. In this study, a newly designed VR speaking test was administered, and test-takers'…

Boettcher, K.; Terkowsky, C.; Schade, M.; Brandner, D.; Grünendahl, S.; Pasaliu, B. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
A newly-developed online laboratory experiment in immersive virtual reality (VR) is used for process engineering students. A digital twin (DT) of a jet pump was realised using the game engine Unreal Engine 4. The chance was taken for an instructional redesign deviating from the conventional cookbook-experiment to better integrate the changing…

Juuso Henrik Nieminen; Eeva Haataja; Peter J. Cobb – Teaching in Higher Education, 2025
This study examines how authentic assessment could nurture students' epistemic agency: their sense of agency in using, evaluating and producing knowledge. Authentic assessment commonly emphasises 'realism' and 'employability skills'. As important as these ideas are, this approach to authentic assessment neglects the key academic value of…

Hoang, Diem Thi Ngoc; Johnson, Nicola F.; McAlinden, Maggie – Teaching English with Technology, 2023
For language learners situated in contexts where there is limited exposure to the target language, an authentic learning environment is important. Virtual Reality (VR) has been increasingly used in education to simulate realistic scenarios; however, little is known about whether VR can enhance the nature of authentic learning for learners of…

Sarah Shine; Julia Warznie; Guoli Zhou; John Zubek – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
Animal dissections have long been central to anatomy and physiology education, despite their costs, safety issues, and ethical concerns. Alternatives like computer-based simulations and synthetic models often fail to replicate the authentic experience of live dissections. Virtual reality (VR) offers an immersive, interactive alternative that…
