As Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies revolutionize educational landscapes, European higher education institutions face the critical challenge of bridging the gap between institutional vision and practical implementation of these advanced technologies. This study examines VR/AR integration readiness through a comprehensive…

Development of effective oral presentation skills is an essential component of entrepreneurship education, but class size and time constraints can limit opportunities to practice and receive quality feedback. Immersive virtual reality can provide time- and place-independent opportunities to hone presentation skills in diverse settings with…

Podcasts are increasingly being used for educational purposes within and outside of the classroom. In the English as a New Language (ENL) classroom, podcasts have been used as a source of authentic auditory input to supplement traditional pedagogical materials. The creation of podcasts by learners has been widely used to encourage language…

Educational tools like EdPuzzle, PlayPosit, and Kaltura have gained recent attention, as they purportedly empower educators to incorporate questions, quizzes, and discussions into instructional videos. However, there is no empirical evidence on how or under what circumstances these platforms may impact students' learning. A quasi-experimental…

This systematic literature review explores the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) on STEM education, focusing on the enhancement of student learning outcomes. Our findings reveal that VR's immersive and interactive features significantly improve student understanding, retention, and engagement. Key features of effective VR applications include…

This systematic literature review explores learning analytics (LA) in serious games within virtual reality (VR) environments, focusing on studies from the International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) and the Journal of Learning Analytics (JLA). Conducted in two stages, the review identifies key domains where serious games in…

Research suggests that elementary English Learners (ELs) benefit from interactive dual-language vocabulary instruction delivered one-on-one or in small groups. However, there are many barriers to providing this type of instruction to all ELs, including time constraints and bilingual teacher shortages. Thus, there is a high need for innovative,…

A global health issue, sexual assault affects individuals of all ages, genders, and socioeconomic status. Forensic nurses, particularly sexual assault nurse examiners (SANE), deliver trauma-informed, patient-centered health care. Providing care to persons who experience sexual violence requires mastery of numerous psychomotor skills, many of which…

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) allows for the transformation of written text into artistic images of varying styles. Scholars and researchers are beginning to explore the benefits of this technology to improve reflective practices and critical analyses in education. The extent to which AI-generated images can be used in nursing education…

The transformative potential of Virtual and Augmented Reality applications has sparked significant interest in educational contexts based on the exciting types of real-world learning experiences they can afford students to develop complex skills (Suryodiningrat et al., 2023). As an extension of Project LEAPES (a grant initiative aiming to promote…

Intersubjectivity is the representation of knowledge construction achieved through a synergistic progression from individual contributions to sequences of interdependent contributions. Repair is a conversational strategy that consists of sequences of interaction contributing to the development of intersubjectivity thereby establishing mutual…

This study explored the use of immersive virtual reality enhancing university students' presence and empathy in relation to their immersive tendencies. With a first-person narrative delivered through a head-mounted display, a high-immersion virtual reality (VR) was expected to provide engaging embodied experiences, impacting the way students…

Virtual reality (VR) technology has greatly expanded its role in education. It provides immersive experiences that enhance learning across various disciplines. Understanding the role of emotions in technology-based learning environments is crucial for improving educational outcomes. This study aimed to explore how VR environments evoke university…

This alternating treatment design single case study investigated the effects of email-based performance feedback (PF) and immersive video within virtual reality (IVVR) on two preservice teachers' use of behavior-specific praise (BSP). Both participants demonstrated increased BSP rates following both intervention conditions. Findings suggest that…

As education, technology, and society become ever more intertwined with emerging forms of artificial intelligence (AI), the need to comprehend the potential consequences of its integration has reached a critical juncture. This study seeks to address this need by exploring emerging, formative tensions in the integration of AI in educational…
