“…Many of the technological tools that were used in this extrapolation had already been used as a complement to the face-to-face teaching process, so their use did not cause alterations among teachers, students, and universities [26][27][28]. Among these tools were digital platforms [29][30][31], MOOCs [32], tools based on word processing [33,34], multimedia tools, gamification tools [35][36][37][38], social networks [39][40][41], augmented reality [42][43][44][45][46], robotics [47][48][49], and/or virtual forums [50,51], among others.…”

Between two possible practices when supervising a remote synchronous evaluation, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of Spanish universities opted for the use of videoconferences with audio and active video, instead of implementing e-proctoring. Thus, in order to analyze the reasons for this non-implementation and take measures so that its use can be extended in the Spanish university system, this study focused on identifying the critical factors in the decision of Spanish universities to accept and implement e-proctoring as a method of remote supervision. For this, a causal study was carried out using the methodology of fuzzy cognitive maps, and the data obtained were processed through the FCMappers tool. This allowed a glimpse of the key role played by students in this non-implementation (who alleged the non-possibility of having the resources necessary for the use of e-proctoring and the violation of privacy that the use of this tool entailed) and highlighted the role of the “pressure or incentives from government” factor if these allegations are to be eliminated and if e-proctoring is to be implemented in Spanish universities.

“…Analysis of large-scale networks and clusters for VR was provided by Cipresso et al (2018). Other recent VR studies conducted using bibliometric analysis focused broadly on the health sector (Pawassar and Tiberius, 2021), gamification research (Chen et al, 2022), education (Roda-Segarra et al, 2022), communication and technology (Dash et al, 2022), and the operations of engineering simulations (Bhandal et al, 2022). These studies accentuated VR as the driver to initiate processes and initiatives.…”

PurposeThis study unravels the intellectual structure of virtual reality (VR) in digital marketing (DM) research, identifies core research gaps and presents future research avenues. The study also conducts a performance analysis of publications in the field and identifies the most important stakeholders of the stated topic.Design/methodology/approachThe Web of Science database was used to retrieve the publications that were relevant to the topic between 2012 and 2022. Biblioshiny, a shiny app for the Bibliometrix R package, is used to conduct a bibliometric analysis by decoding the results into several visual representations.FindingsThis report includes the most prolific contributors, keyword analysis results, productive nations, authors and connections, as well as the most often cited publications on VR in DM. In DM research, numerous perspectives on VR were looked at, explored and revealed.Practical implicationsThe findings provide a new perspective and understanding of the issue for researchers in order to improve their research insights in the field. This study will also benefit marketing practitioners in ensuring the sustainability and innovativeness of technology used to run their DM campaigns.Originality/valueThis research provides the first bibliometric analysis of the citation works and productivity in the field of VR in DM using Biblioshiny, identifies core research gaps and provides future research agenda which can be useful to advance the research understanding in this context.

“…In the field of training, VR technologies have been evidenced to be a versatile digital resource at all educational levels and in different areas of knowledge, as well as a sustainable resource [3]. In fact, from 1990 to 2021, the literature records the existence of 1074 indexed research articles related to the use of VR in education [4]. In this sense, USA and China lead the world list of scientific productions, but Spain is in third place and there is a Latin American country (Brazil) among the top ten [4].…”

The literature also shows how the convergence of technologies, including VR technologies, and education positively influences the academic performance of Latino students in higher education [5].…”

In this paper, we conducted descriptive quantitative research on the assessment of virtual reality (VR) technologies in higher education in the countries of the Pacific Alliance (PA). Specifically, differences between PA countries in terms of the above perceptions were identified and the behavior of the gender and knowledge area gaps in each of them was analyzed. A validated quantitative questionnaire was used for this purpose. As a result, we found that PA professors express high ratings of VR but point out strong disadvantages regarding its use in lectures; in addition, they have low self-concept of their digital competence. In this regard, it was identified that there are notable differences among the PA countries. Mexico is the country with the most marked gender gaps, while Chile has strong gaps by areas of knowledge. We give some recommendations towards favoring a homogeneous process of integration of VR in higher education in the PA countries.
