“…We need to understand, when designing VR-assisted learning environments, the students' cognitive and affective processes when they adopt VR technologies (Vesisenaho et al, 2019). Behavioral studies have pointed out that affective evaluation plays a crucial role in a user's experience (Dirin et al, 2018;Knutson & Greer, 2008), and VR technologies are an effective medium for evoking affective experiences, such as impressions (Bergmann et al, 2012;Cafaro et al, 2016;Ghanbarzadeh & Ghapanchi, 2020). Video technologies provide a sample of affective visuals from real-life experiences (X.…”

Aim/Purpose: This case study examines students’ affective responses to and relationships with two-dimensional (2D) and 360° videos that were experienced with or without low-cost virtual reality (VR) headsets. Background: The prior research on low-cost VR technology is scant. Schools and universities are not financially able to purchase tens or hundreds of expensive inbuilt VR headsets. Therefore, we recommend an alternative, low-cost solution. Methodology: We conducted the experiment with students’ (N=100) responses to videos and VR technologies used in a higher education setting. We also applied a quantitative research approach examined in light of media richness and affective experience theories. Contribution: This study provides evidence of the integral role that VR technologies and 360° video content play, because using low-cost VR headsets potentially decreases the initial affective experiences of 360° videos among students. Although VR headsets improve media richness, they might simultaneously weaken students’ overall affective experiences if they experience usability challenges. Findings: The results showed that using low-cost VR headsets decreased positive user experiences when they were watching 360° videos. The 360° video experience was noted to be better without low-cost VR headsets. Low-cost VR headsets with a smartphone and 360° videos were found to be complicated to set up and use among first-time users. However, 360° videos created a more positive affect than did 2D videos. We also found that the positive affect of videos enhanced the social sharing intention. Recommendations for Practitioners: Educational institutes and teachers with limited financial budgets need to plan and manage courses that increases their need to adopt low-cost VR headsets. However, a poor initial user experience of low-cost VR technology usability might create negative student attitudes, which might hinder VR’s adoption rate in higher education. Recommendation for Researchers: This study provides a new understanding about students’ affective experiences of 2D videos and 360° videos with and without low-cost VR headsets. The results show that positive user experiences of 2D and 360° videos enhance students’ interest in sharing and collaboration in digital learning environments. Impact on Society: The results help educators to predict possible usability challenges in selecting the proper rich media for different learning situations. Additionally, the results assist educators to design VR assisted courses that motivate students. Future Research: The experimental comparison of different VR solutions and traditional learning technologies merits further examination. Additionally, more research is needed to determine the relationship of VR technologies, video content and learning methods, because technological features and content are tightly integrated in VR.

“…It is also because user-generated content is essential in a digital communication environment [14]. In addition to the use of the UX method, it is expected that the application built will meet the factors of the user's emotional needs [15] and the provider's sustainability development, so that the creation of a sustainable and reliable application [16] [17].…”

Introduction: Boat loaning in marine tourism in Indonesia significantly impacts the continuity of tourism activities. It is because some nautical tourism destinations in Indonesia use ships as a means of transportation that cannot be separated from tourism activities. The problem is, there is a lack of information availability for examples event information, destination, and access for boat loaning. That makes it difficult for tourists to be able to enjoy marine tourism. Purpose: Therefore, the use of this study is to design a prototype of a mobile application that can help overcome the problem of limited information and access to marine tourism transportation, and be able to answer the needs of tourists regarding tourist information using the user experience as a design system. Method: The user experience method will be applied in application design testing, to obtain development aspects in the ship transportation ordering application, according to user needs. Result: The results of this study are the prototype design based on the user experience. The final result shows 87.5% response agree with this prototype design. Contribution: This study applies the method of boat loaning by utilising cooperation between agents and ship providers to provide Ease of access to information on marine tourism transportation to prospective tourists.

Among the tools used in teaching and learning, computers are very im-portant. Determining what kind of computer-related studies are carried out in the learning and teaching processes for university students will contribute to future research. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine university students’ documents related to computers in teaching and learning, scanned in the Web of Science database, thematically and methodologically. The study was designed by adopting the case study method from the qualitative research models. A sample was not determined for the articles to be included in the study but it was aimed to reach the whole population. In this context, all documents in the Web of Science database have been accessed through the library system of the university. In the document search, the keywords ‘learning and teaching’ and ‘computer’ were searched in all areas, and the studies were found by searching the keyword ‘university student’ within the title. All the studies were analysed by year, document type, Web of Science category, country and language of publication. The findings obtained from the research are explained in detail by content analysis method. A total of 305 documents were reached in the research findings. The findings obtained as a result of the research carried out are given in detail in the findings and results section.
