Analysing construction student experiences of mobile mixed reality enhanced learning in virtual and augmented reality environments

Mixed reality (MR) and mobile visualisation methods have been identified as important technologies that could reimagine spatial information delivery and enhance higher education practice. However, there is limited research on the impact of mobile MR (MMR) within construction education and improvement of the learners’ experience. With new building information modelling (BIM) workflows being adopted within […]

Validation of the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey: Measuring Student Motivation to Learn via Mixed Reality Nursing Education Simulation

Motivation to learn is an important component of education, particularly in the field of educational technology in which the instructor’s physical presence is increasingly absent. The complexity of the many factors that contribute to student motivation renders this domain difficult to measure. The Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS) instrument was created to measure and identify […]

TRENDS IN CORPORATE ELEARNING PART 1& 2: VR, AR AND MR IN LEARNING AND TRAINING

It wasn’t all that long ago when speculation about the utility of artificial intelligence felt more like science fiction than science fact. Then along came virtual reality (VR), and more recently augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR). Businesses in the brave new digital world have to sort through all these technological developments and figure […]

Smart Machines and Human Expertise: Challenges for Higher Education

Our machines and systems are increasingly smart and capable. They can work alongside humans as professional partners, augmenting human expertise and helping us find and develop talent. How will higher education respond as our professions change? EDUCAUSE Review 

Mixed Reality: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Teaching and Learning

Rapidly evolving augmented reality technology creates opportunities for innovation in education, as demonstrated by Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic’s HoloAnatomy curriculum and teaching and learning breakthroughs in a multitude of disciplines. EDUCAUSE Review 

Improving paramedic distance education through mobile mixed reality simulation

There is growing evidence that the use of simulation in teaching is a key means of improving learning, skills, and outcomes, particularly for practical skills. In the health sciences, the use of high-fidelity task trainers has been shown to be ideal for reducing cognitive load and leading to enhanced learning outcomes. However, how do we […]
