Moro, Christian; Stromberga, Zane; Stirling, Allan – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2017
Consumer-grade virtual reality has recently become available for both desktop and mobile platforms and may redefine the way that students learn. However, the decision regarding which device to utilise within a curriculum is unclear. Desktop-based VR has considerably higher setup costs involved, whereas mobile-based VR cannot produce the quality of…

Achuthan, Krishnashree; Francis, Saneesh P.; Diwakar, Shyam – Education and Information Technologies, 2017
Learning theories converge on the principles of reflective learning processes and perceive them as fundamental to effective learning. Traditional laboratory education in science and engineering often happens in highly resource-constrained environments that compromise some of the learning objectives. This paper focuses on characterizing three…
