“…Multiple studies showed that computer simulations enhance the traditional instruction from laboratory activities (Hu, Chi, & Chang, 2018;Zhu, 2017;Azer & Azer, 2016;Ma et al, 2014;Paton & Houghton, 2012;Rutten, Van Joolingen, & Van der Veena., 2012;Lateef, 2010) to constructing an effective learning model (Wang & Chen, 2020). Also, in contrast to video, computer simulations give students the ability to process temporal (Vera & Santos, 2018) and spatial dimensions (Hu et al, 2018) that creates an immersive feeling that can blur the lines between reality and the virtual environment (Omar et al, 2016;Rossmann et al, 2013;Cai, Tay, & Ngo, 2012).…”

Purpose–The focus of the study is to develop a 3D engine assembly simulation learning module to address the lack of equipmentin one senior high school in the Philippines.Method–The study used mixed-method to determine the considerations needed in developing an application for educational use particularly among laboratory/practical subjects like engine assembly.The study used ISO 25010qualitystandardsin evaluating the application(n=153 students and 3 ICT experts).Results–Results showed that the application is moderately acceptable(overall mean = 3.52)under ISO 25010 quality standards. Conclusion–The study created an engine simulation learning assembly in which teachers can use to augment their lesson. The study also highlights the applicability of using 3D-related technologies for practical and laboratory subjects particularly highly technical-related subjects.Recommendations–Future studies may develop a similar applicationin the same contextusing mobileand other emergingtechnology(i.e., Virtual Reality,Augmented Reality) as well as making the content more customizable.Effectivity of the system in an actual setting is also worth pursuing.Research Implications–The study highlighted the potential use of 3D technology in a classroom setting.

“…There are also works on the intersection of virtual and real worlds, which are mainly driven by virtual reality ideas. For instance, the work mainly focuses on human‐computer interaction (HCI) interfaces dedicated to the virtual reality in 3D worlds. It argues for usage of 3D virtual laboratories by improving aspects such as empowerment, learning by doing, sustaining interest, teaching performance, real‐time feedback, ICT usage, etc.…”

Thinking outside of the box is an important part of education. However, using innovative teaching methods in education can be very challenging for educators. They are directly involved into a teaching process and upcoming changes should be well planned and the impact of the introduced innovations/changes should be estimated in advance. Innovations can be also challenging for a management part of a particular higher education institution, whose major goal is to organize a smooth learning process. Current work presents software empowered innovation in the domain of teaching physics at universities. Authors demonstrate how particular software artefacts could be possible integrated into existing curriculum in order to help students at universities in mastering particular natural science subject (e.g., "Physics-1," "Physics-2"). Software is based on the ideas of virtual laboratories, whether implementation is based on Microsoft. NET XNA Framework and 3D modeling. Paper shows that the introduction of modern information and computer technologies along with the traditional forms of education are significantly enhancing teaching experience and improving education quality. ß

“…In addition, from a learners' perspective, the algorithms constitute a very challenging task for students to deeply comprehend as they usually model complicated concepts and also refer to abstract mathematical notions (Shabanah et al, 2010). When students learn new abstract concepts such as algorithm heuristics, it can be hard for them without appropriate connection to concrete examples (Ma et al, 2014). Visualization of their functionality and the interactive application in various exercises and learning activities can help students connect abstract concepts and procedures to concrete experiences and examples.…”

Search algorithms constitute an important topic in the Artificial Intelligence curriculum and are acknowledged by most tutors to be a hard and complex domain for teachers to teach and students to deeply understand. In this paper, we present an educational computer game, designed to teach search algorithms, based on the popular Pacman game. The purpose of the educational Pacman game is to assist students to understand the artificial intelligence topic of search algorithms in an entertaining, interactive and motivating way. During their experience with the game, students can examine the behaviour of various search algorithms and a graphical annotated depiction of them through suitable visualizations. Visualizations can demonstrate the operational functionality of algorithms and are designed in line with the principles of student's active learning. Various learning activities were designed and request students to apply specific search algorithms in various example cases with or without the assistance and feedback of the game. An evaluation study was conducted in real classroom conditions and revealed quite satisfactory results. The results indicate that the educational Pacman game is an effective way to enhance students' engagement and help them to deeper understand the AI search algorithms.
