Review Of Vr Technical Specification Requirements For A Procedural Training Task, Stephanie G. Fussell

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

Many aviation education and training programs are expanding their learning materials to include virtual learning environments (VLEs) that utilize virtual reality (VR) technology. While developing training materials and the VLE, an understanding of technical specification requirements is needed to inform stakeholders who need to choose a headset for a given training scenario. As part of a larger initiative to compare the usability of multiple VR headsets for implementation into procedural training, a review of the extant literature was conducted to identify technical specifications of VR head-mounted displays, followed by a pilot test of a head-mounted display (HMD) comparison methodology that …

Enhancing Marketing Education Through Gamification: Learners’ Characteristics And Motivation In Gamification Strategies, Jagannath Kharel

Effectiveness Of Automated Formative Feedback In An Online Tutorial For Promoting Summarizing, Veronika Barkela, Miriam Leuchter

Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)

We conducted a study with the aim to investigate the effectiveness of automated formative feedback in improving students’ ability to summarize. One-hundred and thirty-eight undergraduate students in an elementary education program were asked to summarize six scientific texts, with the experimental group (N=87) receiving automated formative feedback in a computer-based learning environment (FALB). FALB provides automated feedback about content coverage, copying words avoidance, redundancy avoidance, relevance, and length. Comparing the experimental group to a control group (N=51), results implied that summarizing skills could be fostered when interacting with FALB. In particular, the automated formative feedback promoted the adherence to the …
