Educational Virtual Reality implementation on English for Tourism Purpose using knowledge-based engineering

VR Chiriyakhana: A Virtual Zoo Using Google Cardboard

“…Education using VR produced great impact correspondingly making the students more focused on topics, enhancing student's critical thinking ability and helped to get highly interactive learning. In [13], the proposed method emphasized on training English language for tourism in an interactive way using VR application by creating virtual character, conversation partner and the authentic scene regarding the topic which helps the user to overcome the situation of airport departure hall and check in counter. Virtual environment makes the students more attentive by establishing the interactive environment that helps to reveal the results of interaction immediately which accomplish the goal of learning by doing [14].…”

Application of Knowledge Chain in the Construction of Online Tourism Education Resources

“…..., I) and (j=0, 1, ..., J) be the resources associated with knowledge chains LO1 and LO2, respectively. Then, the association weight of the OTERs between LO1 and LO2 can be calculated by: (19) Let Q(X, Y) be the association weight between knowledge units X and Y; Ql(X, Y) be the associations between the OTERs correlated with knowledge units X and Y If the association structure between the knowledge points in two knowledge chains is correct, the positive correlation between Q(X, Y) and Ql(X, Y) can be expressed as: (20) Based on the positive correlation Ω of association distribution, Q(X, Y) and Ql(X, Y) can be analyzed by: (21) If threshold λ is greater than β, then the associated knowledge units X and Y are reasonable; if threshold λ is smaller than β, then at least one of the associated knowledge units X and Y is reasonable. Figure 4 shows the structural optimization of knowledge chain.…”

“…Eriksson [19] surveyed the cognition of smartphones among vocational tourism students before and after using smartphones, and provided these highly mobile students with smartphones, in hope of reflecting their learning possibility, and improving their communication with tutors during the apprenticeship. Lee et al [20] proposed a novel approach that can be used to build immersive VR applications specifically for training tourism English skills, and demonstrated the feasibility of the approach through a simple case with three scenes of English usage of leaders, which includes the planning 360-degree panoramic scenes, building virtual characters of dialogue partners, and designing related dialogue scenes and teaching tips.…”

COODTUR IV. Turismo, desarrollo territorial, innovación y gobernanza, żhacia donde vamos?

“…También los procesos de venta, la compra de servicios de alojamiento a través de la segmentación del mercado (Souza, Silva, & Barbosa, 2016), acercar la experiencia del turista a la emoción del anfitrión en el destino (Airbnb, 2018;Chaeyoung L., Mostafa, & Park, 2017), entrenar las habilidades de comunicación en el idioma inglés mientras se hace turismo (Lee, Shih, Chou, & Chen, 2017), venta servicios del sector (Amadeus, 2018;Sabre, 2018;Travelport, 2018;Travelsky, 2018), calificar el servicio turístico recibido (Abrahams, 2006;Booking, 2018;Leung, Au, Liu, & Law, 2016;Lin & Kuo, 2018;Tripadvisor, 2018;Trivago, 2018;Vincent, 2018), minimizar el riesgo del turista por desastres naturales en el destino que visita (Leelawat et al, 2017). Al mismo tiempo el turismo se ha usado como herramienta de posicionamiento de marca de destinos de viaje (Lin & Kuo, 2018) El ambiente y la sociedad en el desarrollo de la actividad turística no se han quedado sin atención, por medio de sistemas de información geográfica (Niño & Danna, 2016) se identifican los efectos que se generan sobre los destinos, ubicando las áreas en donde el territorio ha sufrido modificaciones debido a la presencia de turistas (Prueksakorn et al, 2018;T.…”
