“…According to literature, technology-mediated learning (TML) refers to an environment in which learners interact with instructional materials, peers, and or instructors where information technology plays an intermediary role in connecting the different stakeholders within a learning situation (Alavi, 1994 ; Ryoo & Lee, 2016 ). Essentially, TML theoretical assumption stresses that in educational technology research, technologies themselves have no intentions but are rather featured to convey meanings between stakeholders in a learning environment (Lin et al, 2020 ).…”

Researchers are increasingly exploring educational games in immersive virtual reality (IVR) environments to facilitate students’ learning experiences. Mainly, the effect of IVR on learning outcomes has been the focus. However, far too little attention has been paid to the influence of game elements and IVR features on learners’ perceived cognition. This study examined the relationship between game elements (challenge, goal clarity, and feedback) as pedagogical approach, features of IVR technology (immersion and interaction), and learners’ perceived cognition (reflective thinking and comprehension). An experiment was conducted with 49 undergraduate students who played an IVR game-based application (iThinkSmart) containing mini games developed to facilitate learners’ computational thinking competency. The study employed partial least squares structural equation modelling to investigate the effect of educational game elements and learning contents on learner’s cognition. Findings show that goal clarity is the main predictor of learners’ reflective thinking and comprehension in an educational game-based IVR application. It was also confirmed that immersion and interaction experience impact learner’s comprehension. Notably, adequate learning content in terms of the organisation and relevance of the content contained in an IVR game-based application significantly moderate learners’ reflective thinking and comprehension. The findings of this study have implications for educators and developers of IVR game-based intervention to facilitate learning in the higher education context. In particular, the implication of this study touches on the aspect of learners’ cognitive factors that aim to produce 21st-century problem-solving skills through critical thinking.

This paper will look at how the metaverse is revolutionizing graphic design by enabling collaborative design processes, creating immersive virtual environments, and introducing unique challenges and opportunities for graphic designers. The metaverse revolutionizes graphic design through collaborative processes and immersive virtual environments, presenting unique challenges and opportunities for designers. Graphic designers can delve into the creation of immersive and interactive digital environments, design virtual avatars and 3D objects, and contribute to the development of visually stunning landscapes that will define the metaverse. They must adapt their skills and techniques to convey information and captivate users within this new medium effectively. In addition, graphic designers working in the metaverse must be mindful of ethical considerations related to inclusivity, accessibility, cultural sensitivity, and privacy. They should strive to create designs that are inclusive, accessible, and culturally sensitive, while also ensuring the privacy and security of user data. Overall, the metaverse presents graphic designers with new challenges and opportunities. They must continuously update their knowledge and skills to stay at the forefront of technological advancements in order to create compelling and impactful designs in the metaverse.
