Our goal for this master's project is to explore the use of an instructional design framework for VR-based learning in an industrial maintenance classroom and to investigate its effects on student learning and motivational outcomes. We aim to contribute to a more thorough understanding of VR systems in educational environments, supporting its adoption and offering a more solid foundation for future research on the educational applications of VR.
We are a team of interactive media experts that includes computer scientists, electrical engineers, and graphic artists.
