The objectives of the present study are to search and critically analyse the immersive learning environments; and deriving the applications and effects of immersive learning environment in education with suitable examples by supporting empirical evidences. Based on the objectives and limitations of the present study, important research questions for critical analysis are formulated. The “Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition Model” (SAMR) of Dr Ruben Puentedura was used as the theoretical framework. The study is review-based and analytical in nature, where related literatures regarding the uses, effects and challenges of immersive learning environments in education in present and futuristic perspectives. Both inclusion and exclusion criteria were followed. From the intensive literature review regarding the immersive learning environments widely used in educational setting, the four important aspects were found, viz. immersive learning, virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. The results revealed that ILEs have wide educational effects like providing learning autonomy, increasing attention, providing permanent learning, self-regulated learning, active participation, increasing comprehension of lesson, providing in-depth learning etc. in terms of cognitive effects. ILEs have some affective effects of students like satisfaction, fun, curiosity, enjoyable, interesting, exciting, motivating etc. After the critical analysis of the immersive learning environment systems used in education, game-based learning, project-based learning, experiential learning, collaborative learning etc. were found to be most frequently used. So far as its implementation part is concerned, some sorts of challenges have been noticed in research studies i.e., difficulty in understanding, technical problems, insufficient instruction, limited time, and health problems. Suggestions for further research were provided.

“…Current researches on virtual classroom mainly focus on the impact of virtual classrooms upon students' learning attention. Erofeeva [4] and Hasenbein [5] investigate how the virtual classroom configurations with respect to the social interactions can affect students' visual attention, respectively. Makransky [6] compares the learning effect between the immersive virtual environment and the traditional multimedia classroom.…”

Virtual reality technology has been widely used in education scenarios. Among them, the immersive virtual multimedia classroom can mimic the physical classroom, so as to facilitate the performance of on-line learning. However, there are still gaps between the virtual and physical classroom, especially the lighting environment which plays an important role in the visual experience of participants. In this paper, we aim to study the relationship between the lighting parameters and the visual comfort. We firstly establish a virtual classroom with adjustable lighting parameters. Then we conduct user cases which mimic the natural and indoor lighting respectively, investigating the effect of the two different lighting environments upon the visual comfort. Particularly, we establish the empirical fitting models from the collected subjective ratings, which can provide the perception threshold and the optimal lighting conditions. The proposed method can benefit the design and implementation of virtual multimedia classroom.

“…Two themes are challenging the status quo of video-based interaction analysis: firstly, we see the rise of technologically mediated interaction [1][2][3]. We can no longer rely on participants being physically copresent nor can we expect interactants to deploy the full scope of embodied resources: in Zoom, microphones may be muted, parts of the body obscured, and mutual pointing may be practically impossible [4,5]; in short, interactants are facing fractured ecologies [6,7]. Moreover, new resources may become available: emojis, chats, whiteboards, etc.…”

In virtual reality (VR), participants may not always have hands, bodies, eyes, or even voices—using VR helmets and two controllers, participants control an avatar through virtual worlds that do not necessarily obey familiar laws of physics; moreover, the avatar’s bodily characteristics may not neatly match our bodies in the physical world. Despite these limitations and specificities, humans get things done through collaboration and the creative use of the environment. While multiuser interactive VR is attracting greater numbers of participants, there are currently few attempts to analyze the in situ interaction systematically. This paper proposes a video-analytic detail-oriented methodological framework for studying virtual reality interaction. Using multimodal conversation analysis, the paper investigates a nonverbal, embodied, two-person interaction: two players in a survival game strive to gesturally resolve a misunderstanding regarding an in-game mechanic—however, both of their microphones are turned off for the duration of play. The players’ inability to resort to complex language to resolve this issue results in a dense sequence of back-and-forth activity involving gestures, object manipulation, gaze, and body work. Most crucially, timing and modified repetitions of previously produced actions turn out to be the key to overcome both technical and communicative challenges. The paper analyzes these action sequences, demonstrates how they generate intended outcomes, and proposes a vocabulary to speak about these types of interaction more generally. The findings demonstrate the viability of multimodal analysis of VR interaction, shed light on unique challenges of analyzing interaction in virtual reality, and generate broader methodological insights about the study of nonverbal action.
