Siegle, Robert F.; Schroeder, Noah L.; Lane, H. Chad; Craig, Scotty D. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2023
Pedagogical agents are on-screen characters that help facilitate learning in a virtual or mixed-reality setting. The research on pedagogical agents has shifted focus since their creation, from understanding their underlying principles, identifying their potential roles and usage, and recently finetuning their design for applied practice. This…

The VR-AI--Assisted Simulation for Content Knowledge Application in Pre-Service EFL Teacher Training
Joanna Pitura; Regina Kaplan-Rakowski; Yuliya Asotska-Wierzba – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2025
Pre-service teachers (PSTs) of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) need extensive training, preparing them for challenges encountered in real classrooms. Such challenges include presenting the target content knowledge in front of the class and promptly responding to students' questions on the content. High-immersion virtual reality (VR) is…
