The integration of artificial intelligence and
machine learning to support knowledge processes
“in the service of solving
problems for themselves or
helping others to solve
problems”

Augmented Reality
Augmented reality is a view of
the real world with
virtual elements overlaying it.
Pokémon Go is an example
of augmented reality or AR
Augmented Reality: Definition
“a real time direct or indirect view of a physical real world
environment that has been enhanced/augmented by adding
virtual computer generated information to it”
(Carmigniani et al. 2011)
Scrivner et al. 2017. Immersive Mobile Technologies: Virtual/Augmented Reality Technologies in the Classroom. Teaching Symposium
AR in Education
AR enhances problem solving, increases motivation,
and improves performance (Wasko 2013, Billinghurst
2012)
1
Students have more authentic learning experiences
(Klopfer 2008)
2
“Potentially more exciting for educators” (Bower
2013)

Scrivner et al. 2017. Immersive Mobile Technologies: Virtual/Augmented Reality Technologies in the Classroom. Teaching Symposium
Virtual Reality
Virtual reality is a realistic and
immersive experience of a
virtual world
Virtual Reality: Definition
“ computer interface that permits the user to interact in
real time, in a tridimensional space generated by a
computer, using their feelings, through special devices”
(Kimer. 2012)
VR in Education
VR provides access to a visual-spatial dimension not
available with 2D or abstract learning (Sorby 2009).
1
Multi-sensory VR environment helps increase
engagement with content and knowledge retention.
2
VR can help “discover, explore and build knowledge
about places and situations that we could never
explore” (Piovesan et al. 2012).

VR Environments for Education
Computer-generated
environments (games
and simulation)

VR Applications (Apps)
- Can bring students into realistic
scenes and experiences
- Interactive: touch, grab, assemble-
disassemble, moving around
Advantages
- Lack systematic analysis on available apps on the
market that support learning for higher education
Problem
Method - Systematic review of VR apps (manual review
and concept mapping coding)

Bloom’s Taxonomy
What is the effect of the technology (VR, 3D, 2D) on different learning
outcomes (remembering, understanding, and ability to apply)?
Design Principles
customized learning, challenging learning environments, multi-sensory
effects, immersion, interactivity, 3D-dimensionality, engagement,
motivation towards the content and technology
Technology must
be aligned with
the learning
objectives
Multi-sensorial
effects, interactions,
individual
experiences and
immersion
Better
understanding 3D-
dimensionality
VR can easily
provide new
teaching
methods
Customized
learning and
motivation
Interactivity
and presence
VR has its
advances on the
apply -level (or
higher)

Spatial Ability
“The skill in representing, transforming,
generating, and recalling symbolic, nonlinguistic
information”
(Linn and Petersen, 1985, p. 1482)
What is the relationship between spatial
ability and learning performance in VR?
Spatial Ability as Enhancer vs Compensator
Low spatial ability learners benefit more from
- Manipulation (Jang, Vitale, Jyung, & Black, 2017)
- Stereo Viewing (Barrett & Hegarty, 2016)
- Co-location (Barrett & Hegarty, 2016)
- Active Exploration (Meijer & Broek, 2010)
- Combination of Stereopsis and Interactivity (Moro et al.,,
2017)
- Dynamic Visualization (Berney et al., 2015)
High spatial ability learners benefit more from
- Active Control (Qi et al., 2013)
Round Table Discussion

advantages and
disadvantages of VR/AR
use in education?
