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…

AR-supported instruction has been verified to improve students' problem-solving skills. This study investigated 1041 university students and developed an empirical research model that combined technology acceptance, self-regulation, and AR-supported learning effectiveness with the structural equation model (SEM). At the same time, content analysis…

Anatomy is fundamental to medical disciplines. However, its complexity can be challenging to learners, and traditional anatomy teaching may not be easily accessible. Virtual Reality has the potential to supplement anatomy education, but its effectiveness depends on students' willingness to accept it. This study aimed to measure students'…

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…

Simulation-based learning (SBL) offers an extensive variety of chances to practice complex computer and networking skills in higher education and to implement diverse kinds of platforms to facilitate effective learning. Utilizing visualization and computer network simulation tools in teaching computer networking courses has been found to be useful…

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…

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…

Virtual reality (VR) has been gaining prominence in education, with its interactive capabilities continually expanding. This quantitative study (N = 91) tested the educational effectiveness of high-immersion VR (HiVR) versus low-immersion VR (LiVR) and the impact of interactivity on vocabulary learning. The between-subjects portion of this study…

The primary aim of the study is to develop an augmented reality (AR) acceptance scale within the framework of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model to measure individuals' acceptance and use of AR technology. The study was performed with a total of 546 university students with three participant groups in the…

One discussion in the context of education for sustainable development centers around the importance of suitable teaching materials for promoting pro-environmental attitudes. Especially applications that let learners travel to otherwise difficult to reach places seem promising for digital sustainability education that is both accessible and…

The student-generated question (SGQ) strategy is an effective instructional strategy for developing students' higher order cognitive and critical thinking. However, assessing the quality of SGQs is time consuming and domain experts intensive. Previous automatic evaluation work focused on surface-level features of questions. To overcome this…

Scrum is one of the most used frameworks for agile software development because of its potential improvements in productivity, quality, and client satisfaction. Academia has also focussed on teaching Scrum practices to prepare students to face common software engineering challenges and facilitate their insertion in professional contexts.…

Biochemistry and molecular biology students are asked to understand and analyze the structures of small molecules and complex three-dimensional (3D) macromolecules. However, most tools to help students learn molecular visualization skills are limited to two-dimensional (2D) images on screens and in textbooks. The virtual reality (VR) App Nanome,…

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…

This study explores the moderating role of aesthetics and information quality on the technological acceptance of augmented reality. A technology acceptance model with the following variables was used: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude towards using, and behavioural intention to use. Analysis was conducted by using structural…
