The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a growing subject in the technological field, especially when applied to benefit assembly tasks. This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review to explore the benefits, challenges, methods and tools in the utilization of AR and AI to assembly tasks applications. The…

The aim of this study is to find out what the effects of facilitated learning interventions in a simulation game (SG) are and what type of SG renders which type of learning. Therefore, we research the effects of facilitator interventions on learning in an analogue open SG (in which there are as few rules as possible) and an analogue rule based SG…

The development of immersive virtual reality (IVR) hardware and software has accelerated in recent years. The conceptual vocabulary has, however, not received the same amount of attention, especially in the context of collaborative learning settings. Existing concepts such as immersion, presence and interactivity focus predominantly on the…

Employers increasingly prioritize candidates who can solve real-world Structured Query Language (SQL) problems, particularly during technical interviews. However, many undergraduate students feel underprepared for these interviews because they have not engaged in the deep learning needed to apply SQL concepts confidently. Additionally, students…

Furniture assembly is often perceived as a confusing and demotivating task, especially when relying on traditional manuals and/or online videos, which can be mis. Do It Yourself (DIY) furniture manufacturing can be even more challenging, as it requires not only assembly steps but also material fabrication stages, often demanding access to advanced…

Background: Virtual reality (VR) provides a unique immersive teaching experience and brings significant changes to existing education models. However, barriers may influence the resistance to and non-adoption of VR. Objectives: Grounded in innovation resistance theory (IRT), this study thus examined the resistance attitudes and non-adoption…

Background: The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) presents both opportunities and challenges for rehabilitation counselor education, particularly in preparing students for complex clinical practice. Objective: This study examined the use of GenAI to support simulated client role-play training in a graduate-level…

Background: Competitive, integrated employment (CIE) rates for individuals with disabilities have continued to be much lower than their peers without disabilities. Integration of advanced technologies to develop and refine innovative, scalable, and sustainable programs that promote CIE in high-demand, economically self-sustaining fields will lead…

In recent years, virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been widely adopted across various sectors of society, including education. We conducted a practical study to assess the effectiveness of immersive technologies in higher education institutions. The research was carried out over a period of ten weeks. Students…

The Australian Teacher Education Ministerial Advisory Group (TEMAG) highlighted critical areas for improvement in teacher education, namely, effective pedagogies, assessment and feedback, classroom management, and collaborating with parents and the wider community. This paper describes one Australian university's implementation of a four-part…

What is this report about? This report presents the largest empirical evaluation of test equating methods ever conducted. Equating is the process of identifying scores on different test forms that can be treated as equivalent. Whilst various equating methods are available, there remains no consensus on which are most effective under which…

This paper introduces AIRSim (AI Responses Simulator), an innovative AI tool designed to support students in practicing their questionnaire analysis skills within the café and restaurant discipline. Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), AIRSim generates hypothetical feedback data to facilitate student learning. Through a series of 16…

We present an intriguing topic in a mathematical modelling course where Lanchester models are taught to our students. Lanchester models are some of the earliest and most important models used for combat modelling. We describe modelling activities and the use of technology that can be implemented in teaching this topic in this paper.

Mental rotation is the ability to mentally rotate two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects in one's mind. Previous studies have examined the relationship between mental rotation abilities and embodied cognition. However, conflicting findings underscore the necessity for further investigation. This study aims to investigate how different…

As a teaching and learning medium, 360° videos offer new teaching-learning experiences. Through the possibility of immersion, individual 360° panoramic images, multi-perspective viewing options and interaction possibilities, they extend the advantages of conventional video technology. To understand the potential of using 360° video technology for…
