To date, neuroanatomy education courses are still based on two-dimensional (2D) illustrations combined with cadaver dissections. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of neuroanatomy, we offered mixed reality experience using a head-mounted device (HMD) for medical students during their neuroanatomy course. This pilot study´s purpose was to…

Immersive 360 technologies are increasing equity and inclusion, learning motivation, and engagement of students in many educational disciplines. Extension stakeholders could also benefit from the use of this technology in educational settings. The affordability and ease of use adds a tool to the Extension repertoire to interest and engage…

In today's educational landscape, students have access to enriched learning environments through augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) applications. Effective digital learning depends on identifying the key factors and learner attitudes that influence engagement and task performance. We focused more on preservice teachers' intentions to use AR/VR…

Virtual reality (VR) technology plays a significant role in nursing education by enhancing the quality of training by applying knowledge, decision-making, intervention completion and feedback. This study aims to examine nursing students' experiences and perceptions regarding the ventrogluteal injection training provided through VR technology.…

Online virtual worlds have increasingly become meeting places for students and teachers to discuss and collaborate on diverse academic subjects and practices. Furthermore, in response to the recent global COVID-19 pandemic, there has also been a heightened drive to provide online educational facilities that harness immersive virtual environments…

Educational applications of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) for English language learning have become increasingly prevalent in K-12 classroom contexts. These tools have enormous potential to provide unique learning experiences and increase students' engagement; however, the benefits depend on appropriate implementation and use.…

In modern education, mobile applications offer flexibility for learning anytime and anywhere, yet biochemistry lacks mobile-based virtual laboratories. This study aimed to develop a 2D Mobile-Based Virtual Laboratory Simulation (2D-MViLS) for blood glucose level measurement and evaluate its impact on pharmacy students' learning experience. In…

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…

Traditional higher education in folk dance faces challenges such as limited resources and uneven teaching effectiveness. The introduction of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) technology offers potential solutions to these issues; however, there is a lack of research to substantiate its efficacy. Therefore, this study aims to explore the application…

As the number and complexity of instructional tools have increased, universities have rapidly adapted to ensure their students have the necessary tools and resources for academic success (Rafi et al., 2014; Rafi et al., 2020). One of these adaptations has been the creation of virtual learning platforms using Virtual Reality (VR) technology. This…

Science education, particularly physics, remains a priority for many countries, as their future economic prosperity is closely linked to student success in science and technology. Given the persistent challenges faced by teachers in stimulating students' interest in this discipline, the integration of innovative teaching methods has become…

This paper proposes a didactic design that is centered around an immersive, multilinear narrative in virtual reality as a means of illustrating human life on the edge of technological singularity. It explores the potential of narrative scenarios to trigger a discourse from users' perspective. Affective Computing is taken as a use case. It is a…

Both fashion design and education are areas where new technologies can have a significant impact. This dissertation examines the potential of virtual reality (VR) for fashion design education and focused on the profound affordances that virtual reality offers - immersion and agency. Using a phenomenological approach, the study combined arts-based…

Spatial reasoning has been shown to be an important, trainable cognitive skillset for developing successful engagement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but little empirical work has been conducted in the context of digitally mediated pedagogies. This paper reports on a study into the effectiveness of a technologically…

Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is known to develop advanced cognitive skills, particularly in complex subjects like geography. However, integrating Spherical Video-Based Virtual Reality (SVVR) with IBL remains underexplored. This study proposed an SVVR-based IBL approach to enhance geography education for high school students in Thailand. A…
