Learning in a Virtual Environment: Implementation and Evaluation of a VR Math-Game #publication #research #VirtualReality

Our publication about “Learning in a Virtual Environment: Implementation and Evaluation of a VR Math-Game” is now part of the book Mobile Technologies and Augmented Reality in Open Education.
Abstract:

With the introduction of Google Cardboard, a combination of mobile devices, Virtual Reality (VR) and making was created. This “marriage” opened a wide range of possible, cheap Virtual Reality applications, which can be created and used by everyone. In this chapter, the potential of combining making, gaming and education is demonstrated by evaluating an implemented math-game prototype in a school by pupils aged 12-13. The aim of the virtual reality game is to solve math exercises with increasing difficulty. The pupils were motivated and excited by immerging into the virtual world of the game to solve exercises and advance in the game. The results of the evaluation were very positive and showed the high motivational potential of combining making and game-based learning and its usage in schools as educational instrument.

[CfP] Handbook of Research on Digital Tools for Seamless Learning #CfP #elearning #research

Toegehter with my colleague I would like to invite you to write a contribution to our forthcoming book on “Handbook of Research on Digital Tools for Seamless Learning“:

The world is becoming a mobigital virtual space where people can learn and teach digitally anywhere and anytime. Emerging mobile technologies like wearables make the transformation even faster. In other words, more and more education is happening outside from schools or universities through technology. We as educators and scholars should ask especially for technological solutions supporting teaching and learning outside formal institutions. The book intends to offer the readers precise definitions about emerging technologies, with a strong focus on how they are/can be used for education via ground works, field studies and case studies.
