When tutoring students it is useful to be able to predict whether they are succeeding as early as possible. This paper compares multiple methods for predicting from sequential interaction data whether a student is on a successful path. Predicting students' future performance and intervening has shown promise in improving learner outcomes and…

The growing influence of technology has prompted numerous scholars to explore how virtual reality (VR) affects performance. This study aims to validate the technology acceptance model (TAM) for VR in collaborative learning to enhance performance. We employed a questionnaire for data collection, distributed to 423 master's students in China…

In recent years, embodied learning has gained currency in the field of education, allowing interactivity between users, thus contributing to collaborative learning in the flow of embodied immersive technology. Evidence based studies conducted in this field tackled the effectiveness of this approach on students' performance and learning outcomes in…

This research presents a comprehensive framework and system architecture for a virtual universe to enhance teamwork skills through collaborative learning. A systematic review of 17 research papers from 1998-2024 identifies eight essential components of virtual learning environments: virtual environment, interactive tools, communication features,…

Practical work in optics is essential to understand complex abstract phenomena. Consequently, hands-on experiments are part of most physics' curricula, despite the fact that they can be hard to set up and maintain. In this article, we present a virtual laboratory tool, called SHIRE, which allows students to carry out optical experiments from a…

Collaborative learning in high-fidelity simulators is an important part of how master mariner students are preparing for their future career at sea by becoming part of a ship's bridge team. This study aims to inform the design of multimodal learning analytics to be used for providing automated feedback to master mariner students engaged in…

The effective implementation of Collaborative Inquiry-based Learning (CIL) activities hinges upon the learners receiving ample support and timely feedback. Without explicit guidance from educators within the interaction design, inquiry processes, and task steps, the efficacy of learning outcomes is challenging to ensure. Virtual teachers have the…

The development of immersive virtual reality (IVR) hardware and software has accelerated in recent years. The conceptual vocabulary has, however, not received the same amount of attention, especially in the context of collaborative learning settings. Existing concepts such as immersion, presence and interactivity focus predominantly on the…

Virtual reality (VR) technology has been widely used in nursing laboratory courses to effectively making up for the shortcomings of traditional teaching. However, challenges such as cell phone addiction, negative emotions, and reduced communication between teachers and students still exist during the application process, which makes it difficult…

Augmented Reality (AR) technologies allow for holograms to be layered over the real-world, "augmenting" human vision by adding technical information or illustrations onto 3D space. Although AR-based applications are showing positive effects in many systematic reviews and meta-analyses, well-designed, rigorous studies with strong control…

This teaching brief highlights innovative adaptations of established pedagogical techniques to equip students with critical skills for success in Industry 4.0. More specifically, this brief focuses on two courses: an undergraduate Operations and Supply Chain Management course and an MBA Supply Chain Management course, both designed to foster…

It is pivotal to implement effective collaboration among professionals from different disciplines in the healthcare sector. As the complexity of patients' health needs grows, so does the importance of developing innovative and efficient models of patient care that rely on interprofessional collaborative teamwork. Interprofessional education (IPE)…

The incorporation of immersive technologies into student pilot training has been hindered by a lack of empirical evidence to support their efficacy. Existing research on virtual reality flight simulators is limited in scope, predominantly focused on single-users in small, piston-engine aircraft, with little concern for its application to…

Discussion has become a crucial method of interactive learning in online collaborative environments. This study aims to identify the impact of different task motivation compositions and learning scaffolding on attention, learning performance, and behavioral patterns. The 90 Chinese undergraduate and graduate students (M[subscript age]=20.38,…

Background: The use of virtual reality (VR) training in high-stakes fields, including medicine, aviation, and the military, prepares individuals for complex scenarios in a safe and controlled setting. VR aligns with dual-code theory, enhancing learning through visual and kinesthetic engagement. This review investigates the application and…
