Full-immersion virtual reality for experiential education: An exploratory user experience analysis

The exploratory findings suggest that more research is warranted to more comprehensively examine VR technology’'s capacity to foster experiential education and locate VR’s place in the education landscape.

How Virtual Reality Is Changing the Future of Learning in K-12 and Beyond - Using Needs-Affordances-Features Perspective

This study finds that fully immersive VR educational features enable multiple affordances for Teacher Users, Student Users, and both that fulfill specific experiential needs for each group, and does address needs left unmet by traditional educational tools and underfunded institutions.

Zero-Programming Augmented Reality Authoring Tools for Educators: Status and Recommendations

This paper looks at the current options for augmented reality authoring tools in education, with a focus on what features have yet to be implemented in order to expand the possibilities of augmented reality in education.

Integrating spherical video-based virtual reality into elementary school students’ scientific inquiry instruction: effects on their problem-solving performance

Results show that integrating SVVR into exploratory scientific practice instructions has a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes and problem-solving abilities and reveals that the integration of SVVR has different influences on students with different learning attitudes.

The opinions and attitudes of students – future IT teachers – on the use of VR and AR in teaching

The research showed that even though a majority of students have positive opinions and expectations of these technologies, such as immersive learning and pupils’ motivation, only a few of them feel competent enough to use them in classroom.
