“…There is growing research that looks at information-communication technologies aiming to improve learning efficiency using tools, such as virtual laboratories, which mainly focus on strengthening academic content and learning experiences (e.g., teaching social interactions and emotions to individuals with autism spectrum disorders) [8,9]. Various research using virtual and augmented reality tools have also been linked to the activities of the manufacturing industry (e.g., welding), and other practices, such as training activities in military, sports, and medical fields [9][10][11].…”

Serious Games are becoming more common in the educational setting and must pass muster with both students and instructors for their learning experience and knowledge building. The Virtual Clinic Learning Environment has recently been developed and implemented at East Carolina University using a design framework based on Bloom's variables, and in the process of refining those design questions, identifies the methods of how serious games provide an overt and subtle learning experience. The overt learning experience is based in the design questions defined and the subtle experience was derived by examining the idea of sense of place as it relates to the virtual environment. By considering these two streams of learning, designers can avoid pitfalls and build on these design elements of a virtual learning environment.

“…In the coordinates of the communicative approach some special attention is paid to the training of intercultural communicative competence, which represents the communication between representatives of different cultures, and as the knowledge of the cultural context of using a foreign language, the ability to communicate in this context. Hence there is a problem of searching for new ways of cognition and communication, which is faced by teachers in intercultural educational processes [2].…”

<p>The purpose of our work is to check the effectiveness of the principle of systematic in the process of teaching professional foreign language to the engineering specialties. The laboratory work contains information lexical programs for the introduction of active lexical lessons, vocabulary and grammar exercises, and questions to the texts of lessons, designated for self-control and mutual control. The authors presented the results of the implementation of the system principle in the pedagogical process, namely the possibility of providing systematic construction of methodical literature and construction of intra subject links. The laboratory work, thanks to which there is an actualization and improvement of basic knowledge and skills, as well as the motivation of educational activity - is the form of realization of this principle. The students have an opportunity to demonstrate the independence in performing communicative actions in the professional sphere, provided by the program, to automate their skills, to conduct the self-study and self-monitoring of knowledge and skills, as well as to make their correction.</p>

“…For instances, Chenechal et al [11] developed a remote guiding system that can help a user by way of two virtual arms controlled by a remote expert in the virtual reality environment. Torres et al [12] developed a virtual workspace where workers are trained in welding operation. Anton et al [13] proposed telerehabilitation systems that can support physical therapy in virtual environments, and Quail et al [14] introduced a digital game within a medical education area, in order to improve engagement, confidence and knowledge for undergraduate students.…”

Recently, many studies have been conducted to apply virtual reality (VR) technology to the mining industry. To accomplish this, it is necessary to develop user interface devices that can effectively control software. Most VR content in the mining industry requires precise device control for equipment operation or accident response. In this study, we compare the performance of four user interface devices (a 2D mouse, 2D & 3D mice, a VR controller, and a Kinect (Microsoft) sensor and bend-sensing data glove) for controlling mining industry software in a VR environment. The total working time, number of device clicks and click accuracy, were analyzed based on 10 experimenters performing 3D orebody modeling, using each device in the VR environment. Furthermore, we conducted a survey to evaluate the ease of learning, ease of use, immersion and fatigue of each device after the experiment. The results show that the 2D mouse yields a high performance in terms of its working time, click accuracy, ease of learning and ease of use. However, the 2D mouse did not completely leverage the VR environment, owing to low user immersion. The Kinect sensor and bend-sensing data glove could control the software efficiently while maximizing user immersion. Our findings are expected to provide a useful reference for the future development of user interface devices in the mining industry.
