The main focus of this study is to explore the use of Spherical Video-based Immersive Virtual Reality (SV-IVR) in investigating learners' fluency and vocabulary acquisition among sophomores in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms in higher education in Indonesia. Data were collected through 360-degree panoramic Virtual Reality (VR)…

It is difficult for students to learn the concepts of chemical laboratory safety education from actual experiences because the traditional teaching model prohibits students from performing dangerous operations. Therefore, this study develops a novel mixed reality-based chemistry experiment learning system (MRCELS) to allow learners to conduct…

This reflection provides an introduction to, and reflection on, the new text "Rethinking Problem-based Learning for the Digital Age" (Savin-Baden and Fraser, 2024). It begins by telling the story and rationale for the creation of the book and then provides an overview of the text of the whole. The next section discusses the purpose of…

This study investigates the integration of advanced technologies to improve the translation and dissemination of Chinese museum culture through multimodal approaches. The primary aim is to incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data to enhance the quality and accessibility of cultural exhibits. Current challenges in the translation and…

The Chinese Luoyang Quju Opera holds significant cultural importance in Henan Province. Despite its historical richness, this art form confronts challenges amidst modernization and evolving entertainment preferences. This study investigates literacy strategies for preserving and contemporaneously developing the Chinese Luoyang Quju Opera. The…

Learning basic programming concepts in computer science-related fields poses a challenge for students, to the extent that it becomes an academic-social problem, resulting in high failure and dropout rates. Proposed solutions to the problem can be found in the literature, such as the development of new programming languages and environments, the…

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of emotionally resonant videos on transfer of learning for adult learners who take virtual reality (VR) computer-based training (CBT) courses. The intent of this research was to determine if emotion could be used to optimize VR exercises used to support the energy industry. The…

The traditional approach of using PowerPoint (PPT) presentations in medical imaging theory classes hinders the spatial thinking ability of most students. Consequently, the learning outcomes are often unsatisfactory. This article proposes a naked eye three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging teaching assistant app based on augmented reality (AR)…

As a source of social capital, teachers' professional networks have been linked in the research literature with professional learning. Social media platforms have increased teachers' professional networking opportunities, suggesting more space for informal learning. Capturing the experiences of 41 school teachers in Kazakhstan using thematic…

As educational spaces transition from physical classrooms to digital and AI-mediated environments, this research explores the ontological implications of this shift. By examining the concept of the "Future Classroom," which extends learning spaces into virtual, augmented, and AI-driven realities, this study asks whether digital spaces…

At present, the traditional education quality evaluation system has some problems, such as insufficient data processing ability and poor real-time performance, which is difficult to meet the needs of teaching quality improvement in rapidly developing higher vocational colleges. In order to solve such problems, this paper designs an intelligent…

The construction industry is undergoing a significant transformation as the workforce shifts from traditional practices to sensing technology-driven approaches, thereby creating a critical skills gap. Mixed reality learning environments (MRLE) have emerged as a promising solution to prepare the future workforce by providing immersive and…

This study examines the effects of six augmented-reality (AR)-supported lessons in lower-secondary natural science classes in Vietnam on students' conceptual understanding, engagement, and motivation. We used a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design in two semi-rural public schools (grades 6-8; eight weeks). Intervention classes…
