“…We also analyze that the study also can evaluate learning outcomes in the study (Porter et al 2020), student perception (Chamilothori et al 2019;Arias et al 2019;Pirker et al 2018;Abichandani et al 2019;O'Connor et al 2018;Greenwald et al 2018;Makransky et al 2020;Kersting et al 2020;Šiđanin et al 2020), Brain wave activity (Lamb et al 2018), and also can use both learning outcome and student perception Chang et al 2020;Liu et al 2020). Furthermore, we also analyze the trend of virtual reality usage in a broader theme of education and learning using the article record from different keywords after duplicate removed (951 studies).…”

This study aims to disclose how virtual reality technology has been applied to studies of learning and the possibility of virtual reality by reviewing studies that have employed the virtual reality approach. A total of 15 papers were selected from the Scopus Index database from 2015 to 2020. Content analysis showed that virtual reality and physics learning had received the most attention under the theme of student perception, especially in self-efficacy and experience, followed by satisfaction, motivation, and engagement. Trends of research development show that the use of virtual reality has proliferated recently. Moreover, HTC Vive is the most powerful device to conduct the VR study for the tool device. This study concludes that virtual reality technology provides a promising media for educational researchers.

Quantum computing (QC) is an intrinsically complex yet exciting discipline with increasing practical relevance. A deep understanding of QC requires the integration of knowledge across numerous technical fields, such as physics, computing and mathematics. This work aims to investigate how immersive Virtual Reality (VR) compares to a desktop environment ('web-applet') as an educational tool to help teach individuals QC fundamentals. We developed two interactive learning tutorials, one utilising the 'Bloch sphere' visualisation to represent a single-qubit system, and the other exploring multi-qubit systems through the lens of 'quantum entanglement'. We evaluate the effectiveness of each medium to teach QC fundamentals in a user study with 24 participants. We find that the Bloch sphere visualisation was well-suited to VR over a desktop environment. Our results also indicate that mathematics literacy is an important factor in facilitating greater learning with this effect being notably more pronounced when using VR. However, VR did not significantly improve learning in a multi-qubit context. Our work provides valuable insights which contribute to the emerging field of Quantum HCI (QHCI) and VR for education.

“…Students prefer to engage in traditional lectures over online courses because they lack self-discipline and they can become too easily distracted during online learning (Crook & Schofield, 2017). Applying immersive VR to education may engage students better than MOOCs, removing distractions outside of the learning environment, mimicking the experience of traditional learning experiences (Lessick & Kraft, 2017;Pirker et al, 2018). Existing examples of educational applications of VR have focused on non immersive desktop-VR and have shown that simulating learning environments is highly effective.…”

Massive Open Online Courses are a dominant force in remote-learning yet suffer from persisting problems stemming from lack of commitment and low completion rates. In this initial study we investigate how the use of immersive virtual environments for Power-Point based informational learning may benefit learners and mimic traditional lectures successfully. We examine the role of embodied agent tutors which are frequently implemented within virtual learning environments. We find similar performance on a bespoke knowledge test and metrics for motivation, satisfaction, and engagement by learners in both real and virtual environments, regardless of embodied agent tutor presence. Our results raise questions regarding the viability of using virtual environments for remote-learning paradigms, and we emphasise the need for further investigation to inform the design of effective remote-learning applications.
