Pakanen, Minna; Alavesa, Paula; Arhippainen, Leena; Ojala, Timo – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2020
While three-dimensional virtual learning environments have attracted plenty of research interest, mirror-world-like virtual campuses have been used mainly for virtual tours, promotions, or for simulation purposes. In this article, the authors investigate the use of geographically accurate mirror-world-like virtual campus models as an interactive…

Thomas, Wayne W.; Boechler, Patricia M. – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2014
With teachers taking more interest in utilizing 3D virtual environments for educational purposes, research is needed to understand how learners perceive and process information within virtual environments (Eschenbrenner, Nah, & Siau, 2008). In this study, the authors sought to determine if learning style or digital literacy predict incidental…

Ewais, Ahmed; De Troyer, Olga – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2014
The use of 3D and Virtual Reality is gaining interest in the context of academic discussions on E-learning technologies. However, the use of 3D for learning environments also has drawbacks. One way to overcome these drawbacks is by having an adaptive learning environment, i.e., an environment that dynamically adapts to the learner and the…

Schönborn, Konrad J.; Höst, Gunnar E.; Palmerius, Karljohan E. Lundin; Flint, Jennifer – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2014
The advent of nanoscientific applications in modern life is swiftly in progress. Nanoscale innovation comes with the pressing need to provide citizens and learners with scientific knowledge for judging the societal impact of nanotechnology. In rising to the challenge, this paper reports the developmental phase of a research agenda concerned with…

Hamshire, Claire; Cullen, W. Rod – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2014
The transition to higher education can be problematic for some students as they adapt to institutional procedures and degree level working at the same time as developing new social networks. To help facilitate these complex transitions institutions are increasingly turning towards digital technologies to provide both flexible access to resources…

Gui, Dean A. F.; AuYeung, Gigi – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2013
The virtual Department of English at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, also known as the Tree of Knowledge, is a project premised upon using ecology and organic forms to promote language learning in Second Life (SL). Inspired by Salmon's (2010) Tree of Learning concept this study examines how an interactive ecological environment--in this…
