What do we know…? “No significant differences were found
between mean assessment scores in VR,
AR, or TB…
…VR participants were more likely to
exhibit adverse effects such as
headaches (25% in VR P<0.05), dizziness
(40% in VR, P<0.001), or blurred vision
(35% in VR, P<0.01).”

“Across both text versions, students reported being
more present in the VR condition (d = 1.30)…
…but they learned less (d = 0.80), and had
significantly higher cognitive load based on the EEG
measure (d = 0.59)”
What do we know…?

An evidence-informed

Best available
evidence
Instructor
expertise and
context
User

So…
DR or VR?
Whatever…just make sure it’s pedagogical
appropriate and evidence-informed.
