“…As stated in the review done by Rahman et al, most of the studies produced positive results that can enhance the virtual world's reputation as an effective learning platform today [31]. The findings of this study also provide some positive implications for the teaching and learning of Chinese characters in Year-1 classroom.…”

<p class="0abstract">The complexity of Chinese character caused students facing learning difficulty in mastering the Chinese character writing skills. This study aimed to investigate the effect and students' perception on the implementation of animation in teaching and learning of Chinese character writing based on Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (AniCC Online Learning) via Frog VLE platform. Meanwhile, the relationship of implementation of AniCC Online Learning and pupil's writing performance was also studied to have further insights into the Chinese character teaching and learning situation. Pre-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design were adopted and thirty three Year 1 students were selected as the respondents in this research which involved four types of instruments. There was a significant different (p = 0.013) between the scores of pre-test and post-test for students' writing performance after performing paired samples t-test. The study also showed an increase in the means scores of students' writing skills and an increase in the percentage of students' writing skills ranking at rank 4 or above although no significant different (p = 0.180) was observed between the pre writing assessment and post writing assessment after Wilcoxon Test was performed. The students overall showed high acceptance towards integration of AniCC Online Learning with overall mean score 0.90 (maximum = 1). In sum, the design of AniCC Online Learning via Frog VLE platform is able to improve writing performance as well as to help students in their writing skills.</p>

“…In this paper, we present the development of a prototype mobile phone application that can help the user to learn the Noongar names of wildflowers in a fun and easy way; a step forward to teaching and learning the Noongar language in the broader community. Rather than presenting a glossary and quizzes, or a translation service for learning language (Estaff 2017); technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual learning environment (VLE), and mobile learning can offer a better environment in which learning activities can occur anytime and anywhere, and can benefit both learners and educators (Rahman, Yahaya, and Halim 2014;Kiat et al 2016). These technologies are now being used in formal learning from primary school to university level (Akçayır and Akçayır 2017).…”

Audio-augmented arboreality: wildflowers and language

Before colonisation, there were over 250 languages spoken in Australia. Today only thirteen Indigenous languages are still being taught to children (AIATSIS 2019). Language has an important part to play in cultural maintenance and 'closing the gap' in terms of First Peoples' cultural heritage, identity, and sense of belonging. In this work, we aim to develop an engaging and easy way to teach and learn the local Indigenous names of wildflowers using a mobile device. This paper presents the development of a phone application that runs on a local machine, recognises local wildflowers through its camera, and plays associated sounds and displays associated text in the Noongar language. The prototype mobile application has been developed with MobileNets model on the TensorFlow platform. The dataset is derived from Google searches, while the sound files are generated from label text by running an apple script. UI and interactivity have been developed by using Vuforia and the Unity game engine.Finally, the Android Studio is used to deploy the app. At this point in time, the prototype can only recognise ten local flowers, with 85%~99% of accuracy. We are working with a larger dataset towards developing the full application.

“…Given the teaching and learning activities at all levels of study, many educational institutions have turned to virtual worlds with unique capabilities that have an increasingly important role in e-learning systems of the future instead of 2D online learning applications. 10,11 Although there are many virtual worlds and virtual platforms, tools such as OpenSim Sloodle need advanced computer science such as compilation from source code. 12,13 However, Second Life (SL), which is a 3D virtual world with millions of users, 14 is more useful and popular than other virtual worlds in terms of online teaching and learning because of its easy use and rich communication tools, and it also supports virtual collaboration and 3D content creation.…”

Thanks to the development of education and internet technologies, two-dimensional educational environments such as internet pages in distance education are starting to leave their places to three-dimensional virtual worlds with more communication and interaction tools, that offer with–without instructor, synchronous–asynchronous and individual–collaborative learning environments. In this study, a new basic programmable logic controllers laboratory was designed, simulated and virtually implemented on Second Life, a 3D virtual world with powerful features such as object construction and programming language. Then, this virtual programmable logic controllers laboratory was introduced to the students of Electricity and Energy Department of Usak University who had previously taken the programmable logic controllers course theoretically, and a survey about this laboratory was administered. One-hundred percent of the students who participated in the survey found this lab to be helpful, and 95.45% found it to be useful. Based on this lab design and evaluations, the specific and general conclusions including the pros and cons are discussed.
