Virtual reality (VR) is not only attracting the attention of the information and computer technology (ICT) industry (Shirer & Torchia, 2017), especially in the production of consumer VR hardware, but also that of educators. One of the important features of VR is immersion, which enhances the situated experience of users. The sensation of being…

Macauda, Anita – Research on Education and Media, 2018
This contribution presents the results of research on teaching practices supported by augmented reality conducted in school contexts in the three-year period 2015-2017. With reference to the objectives of the National Plan for Digital Education relating to the realisation of innovative learning pathways to promote critical thinking, reflection and…

Burnett, Cathy – Learning, Media and Technology, 2016
This article contributes to thinking about collaboration in classroom/virtual environments by considering how children (aged 10-11) engage in the process of "being together" at the interface of the physical and virtual. It argues that, if educators are to develop effective pedagogies that capitalise on opportunities for collaborative and…

Mavridis, Apostolos; Tsiatsos, Thrasyvoulos; Terzidou, Theodouli – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2016
This paper focuses on methodologies of serious games deployment and evaluation. Particularly, this study will present a specific category of serious games that are based on Collaborative Virtual Environments and they aim to support Collaborative Learning. We call these serious games Collaborative Virtual Educational Games (CVEG). The paper aims to…

Lui, Michelle; Slotta, James D. – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2014
This article presents the design of an immersive simulation and inquiry activity for technology-enhanced classrooms. Using a co-design method, researchers worked with a high school biology teacher to create a rainforest simulation, distributed across several large displays in the room to immerse students in the environment. The authors created and…

Rogers, Luke – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
Computer-based clinical simulations are a powerful teaching and learning tool because of their ability to expand healthcare students' clinical experience by providing practice-based learning. Despite the benefits of traditional computer-based clinical simulations, there are significant issues that arise when incorporating them into a flexible,…

Eaton, Lynn Jones; Guerra, Mario; Corliss, Stephanie; Jarmon, Leslie – Educational Media International, 2011
For the first time in history, an entire statewide public institution of higher education is extending all of its 16 campuses into the online virtual world of Second Life and is creating one of the largest virtual collaborative learning communities in the world. There are three levels of assessment and research for this initial-entry project: (1)…

Essid, Joe; Wilde, Fran – EDUCAUSE Quarterly, 2011
Effective virtual simulations can embed participants in imaginary worlds. Researchers working in virtual worlds and gaming often refer to "immersion," a state in which a participant or player loses track of time and becomes one with the simulation. Immersive settings have been shown to deepen learning. Ken Hudson's work with students…

Siyahhan, Sinem; Barab, Sasha A.; Downton, Michael P. – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2010
We implemented a five-week family program called "Family Quest" where parents and children ages 9 to 13 played Quest Atlantis, a multiuser 3D educational computer game, at a local after-school club for 90-minute sessions. We used activity theory as a conceptual and an analytical framework to study the nature of intergenerational play, the…
