Although many studies have investigated the possible use of virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), and augmented reality (AR), there is a lack of research that specifically focuses on educators' opinions and awareness about the usage of these technologies in educational settings. Therefore, the present research aimed to investigate…

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments have been developed to connect learners, whether geographically apart or together, to accomplish shared tasks collaboratively and interactively. Despite the extensive adoption of immersive technologies such as virtual or augmented reality in various educational contexts, the current…

More than two-thirds of students with disabilities spend 80% or more of their school day in general education classes. To maximize student success, collaborations among educators (general and special education teachers) and between educators and caregivers are essential for student success. However, many new educators report feeling ill-equipped…

Numerous studies have delved into the application of augmented reality (AR) in chemistry education, focusing on specific topics, equipment requirements, and advantages. However, there remains a notable dearth of research examining the evolutionary characteristics of AR in this context. This study, employing bibliometric analysis on 66 articles…

In recent years, immersive technology has become increasingly popular in educational settings. Its immersive characteristics enhance learning achievement, boost motivation, promote skills, and foster students' creativity. This meta-analysis synthesizes 19 researches published between 2012 and 2023 that examined the influence of immersive…

As VR becomes increasingly mainstream due to lowering hardware costs and increased access to VR content, it becomes critical to fill the gap in learning sciences literature that explains how this content may be developed in alignment with targeted learning outcomes. It also becomes imperative to study the integration of VR outside the…

A systematic review of the potential of implementing augmented reality (AR) in inquiry-based learning was conducted. We considered the purposes, potential advantages, application characteristics and the effects of using AR in inquiry-based learning. The findings reveal that AR, in the context of inquiry-based learning, is mostly implemented…

Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies have emerged as promising tools in the education sector, offering new possibilities for immersive learning experiences. Many researchers have focused their research on examining the potential of these technologies in education from different perspectives. However, it was discovered that there are research…

In this article we describe how mobile devices enable immersive learning experiences. Expensive Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) are a thing of the past, as even inexpensive alternatives in combination with a smartphone make it possible to immerse oneself in virtual worlds. Learners then take these worlds as realistic, which can lead to cognitively…

Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging technology that can help educators enhance their classrooms. With one-to-one initiatives and application (app) development creating affordable technology, teachers have more access to innovative supports for their students with disabilities' academic, social, emotional, and behavioral skill development. Using…

Reality technologies are being introduced in schools due to high anticipated or claimed educational benefits. This article explores the reliability of foundations of such claims for use of three kinds of technology-based 'environments': virtual, augmented and mixed reality. It is a follow-up of a previous stage in a research review and includes 35…

The technological advancement and rapid development of artificial intelligence have led to a growing number of studies investigating pedagogical innovations incorporated with emerging technologies in this digital era. An increasing amount of empirical evidence has suggested the potential benefits of incorporating digital technologies and…

This study examined the impacts of augmented reality (AR) activities that were integrated into a Master's-level education course for mainly in-service teachers pursuing higher-level certification, generally in the specialization area of Instructional Technology-of the fifteen participants, twelve were active in-service teachers, and three were…

This article provides the first review of the existing literature consolidating research into the use of virtual, augmented and mixed reality technologies within K-12 educational environments. The review explores the peer-reviewed scholarly studies conducted between 2006 and May 2017, which involved the use of virtual reality (VR), augmented…

eSports is a rising modality of sports entertainment in the United States and has growing implications for education. Providing competitive eSports teams in schools satisfies the growing desire to train and educate students on the skills emphasized in STEM and Career Technical Education (CTE) education, as well as in programs such as English and…
