The adoption of virtual learning environments (VLEs) in education has grown significantly due to their potential to enhance learning. Effective learning in VLEs depends on managing cognitive load and sustaining motivation, particularly for complex tasks like developing teachers' professional vision -- the ability to notice and interpret classroom…

The effective implementation of Collaborative Inquiry-based Learning (CIL) activities hinges upon the learners receiving ample support and timely feedback. Without explicit guidance from educators within the interaction design, inquiry processes, and task steps, the efficacy of learning outcomes is challenging to ensure. Virtual teachers have the…

The potential of immersive virtual reality (IVR) to deliver engaging occupational safety training has been established by previous research; however, to date, there have not been any pedagogical models to guide its implementation. This study's objective was to conceptualize a pedagogical model for IVR safety training by combining a…

The potential of innovative learning technologies and digitalization is a key factor in the progressive development of the academic space within the context of educational environment integration. This article aims to study the potential of innovative learning technologies in the context of globalization and the digitalization of education, based…

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to develop and test a virtual reality application designed to put the participants "in the shoes" of an autistic person during a routine task. Method: The study involved a randomized controlled trial that included 103 participants recruited from a technical college. Each participant responded to…

This study presents the first comprehensive dual-database bibliometric analysis of game-based learning research, investigating its evolution between 2015 and 2024 through analysis of 34,125 documents from Scopus (18,487) and Web of Science (WoS) (15,638) using advanced visualization techniques. The findings reveal consistent field expansion with…

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the LADEC model in promoting future skills among undergraduate learners. The research objectives included: (1) analyzing the components of the LADEC model; (2) designing and implementing the model; (3) comparing the effectiveness of the LADEC model with the DTP model; and (4) assessing…

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…
