Sharp, Lara – Teaching Science, 2017
The computer game sensation "Minecraft" has become a mainstay amongst school students of all ages. Anecdotally, at Geoscience Australia, we have observed that "Minecrafters" often draw comparisons between their Minecraft experiences and the real world. For some students, the line between reality and fantasy is blurred. At the…

Huang, Zhenzhen; Hu, Qingfen; Shao, Yi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Previous research in spatial reorientation, which only presented the target location in the corner, has found that adults weighed angles more than wall lengths. We proposed that in previous research, angular cues were available for direct use whereas length cues had to be associated with the left/right sense. We thus investigated whether the…

Vosinakis, Spyros; Anastassakis, George; Koutsabasis, Panayiotis – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2018
Logic Programming (LP) follows the declarative programming paradigm, which novice students often find hard to grasp. The limited availability of visual teaching aids for LP can lead to low motivation for learning. In this paper, we present a platform for teaching and learning Prolog in Virtual Worlds, which enables the visual interpretation and…

Ke, Fengfeng; Moon, Jewoong – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2018
Using OpenSimulator, we constructed a 3D virtual playground that affords competition-themed social gaming, role-play gaming and design-themed architectural gaming among high-functioning autistic (HFA) children. A mixed-method, multi-case study was conducted to examine the association between the game task and setting features, learners'…

Mavengere, Nicholas; Ruohonen, Mikko – Education and Information Technologies, 2018
Learning is integral in the present dynamic environment characterized by factors, such as intense technological innovation and global economy. Thus, learning is constantly required as, for example, rapid development of technologies is both a push factor in learning requirements and a vehicle to advance the learning process. The global nature of…

Jacobs, Rick R.; Griswold, Kaytlynn R.; Swigart, Kristen L.; Loviscky, Greg E.; Heinen, Rachel L. – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2018
Honors graduates have much to learn when transitioning into their first position after college. For instance, workplaces have an entirely different culture and set of expectations from undergraduate honors classrooms. Furthermore, the skills they need to become successful employees or graduate students are different from those required of…

Nolen, Susan Bobbitt; Koretsky, Milo D. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: Student engagement and interest in engineering is compared between virtual and physical laboratory projects, designed to be realistic and replicate engineering practice. Reported motivation and engagement was greater in the virtual project than the physical projects. Results are interpreted in terms of the different affordances for…

King-Henderson, Paulette – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Nurse education uses an apprenticeship model to teach students clinical skills. However, lack of faculty, clinical preceptors, early hospital discharges, and lack of clinical practice areas limits nursing students' exposure to patients which could impact patient care. The use of virtual simulation may bridge the theory-practice gap in nurse…

Netland, Torbjørn H.; Flaeschner, Oliver; Maghazei, Omid; Brown, Karin – Journal of Management Education, 2020
Recent developments in virtual reality (VR) technologies offer new opportunities for teaching management courses. The objective of this article is to present one way to use VR to teach operations management. In partnership with a global manufacturer, we integrate virtual environments of the manufacturers' real factories in a course assignment. The…

Larson, Kristine E.; Hirsch, Shanna E.; McGraw, Jillian P.; Bradshaw, Catherine P. – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2020
Given the high percentage of new teachers who struggle with classroom management, preservice educators need more opportunities to develop their skills in managing challenging student behaviors prior to entering the classroom. There is growing interest in using mixed-reality simulators to provide educators opportunities to receive guided practice…

Chen, Hao-Jan Howard; Hsu, Hsiao-Ling – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2020
One of the more rapidly advancing subfields of second language acquisition research is Digital-game based language learning (DGBLL) and many studies have found that Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) games can have a positive effect on vocabulary acquisition. COTS games are specifically made for entertainment purposes, while serious games, which…

Kumaran, Savitha Korattikkara; Govindapillai, Renumol Vempalively – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2020
Research on special education has showed that the use of digital technology for the special need children can help to simplify their educational process. Intellectual disability (ID) is a kind of developmental disorder. ID children need some kind of scaffolding during their learning process. Hence, as part of our ongoing research to design and…

Ibili, Emin; Resnyansky, Dmitry; Billinghurst, Mark – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
This paper examines mathematics teachers' level of acceptance and intention to use the Augmented Reality Geometry Tutorial System (ARGTS), a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) application developed to enhance students' 3D geometric thinking skills. ARGTS was shared with mathematics teachers, who were then surveyed using the Technology Acceptance Model…
