The integration of learning analytics into Virtual and Augmented reality applications for STEM education
This project aims to disseminate evidence provided by a series of ongoing practices which will be published. It will also give educators/instructors a chance to understand how tracking or exchange information using integrated learning analytic tools in VR and AR applications focusing on STEM fields.
The integration of learning analytics into Virtual and Augmented reality applications for STEM education
Contemporary learning theories and approaches to support learning via interactive enviroments
The goal of this project is to elaborate and investigate how the use of contemporary learning theories combined with interactive environments can support different science learning subjects.
Computational thinking and virtual worlds
The goal of this project is to investigate how can virtual worlds support the development of high school students' computational problem-solving strategies.
Review articles on the impact of immersive technologies in teaching and learning
The aim of this project is to present a series of review articles which can provide the most significant potentials and drawbacks of using XR (VR/AR/MR) technologies in different learning subjects, such as the fields of STEM, language learning, History etc.
Virtual Worlds in STEM education
How can 3-D multi-user virtual worlds assist students to enhance their computational thinking strategies for STEM courses at high-school level?
