The sample consisted of 60 in-service teachers of primary education. Data was collected via the Temple Presence Inventory Scale, Simulator Sickness Scale and the System Usability Scale. Results showed that the teachers rated an increased level of spatial presence. Additionally, the simulator sickness was relatively low, and the drone’s usability was rated as excellent. These findings contribute to the better understanding of the potential of First-Person view drones as learning tools.","PeriodicalId":215411,"journal":{"name":"2022 8th International Conference of the Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134181197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate, which types of learners are suitable for the virtual reality environment. A fuzzy set analysis was conducted, we found: (1) high autonomy virtual reality environment suitable for students with a solid foundation of knowledge; (2) low autonomy virtual reality environment cause more cognitive load for learners compare to high autonomy virtual reality environment; (3) a positive attitude towards VR may lead to worse learning outcomes for learners with low prior knowledge. The findings indicated that teachers should personalize their use of educational technology based on their students.","PeriodicalId":215411,"journal":{"name":"2022 8th International Conference of the Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN)","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134412586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within education, methods such as spaced repetition and memory palaces exist to support the cognitive process of remembering. We identify an opportunity to enhance learner-led collaborative paragogy involving these methods through immersive VR experiences. We present CleVR, a VR-mediated collaboration-based system that supports the memory palace and spaced repetition techniques. As an exploratory study, we aim to identify the applicability, viability and user perception for such a system combining these two techniques in VR. CleVR is a novel implementation which provides a location-driven metaphor to populate and present multiple resources related to a topic for peer-led exploration. We discuss the design and provide a prototype implementation of CleVR. We conducted two studies, a targeted expert user review and a broader proof of concept survey. The results of the studies show interesting outcomes, with the system described as ‘engaging’, ‘useful’ and ‘fun’. Our findings provide insights to the potential of using Virtual Reality Learning Environments (VRLE) geared towards collaborative learner-led activities.","PeriodicalId":215411,"journal":{"name":"2022 8th International Conference of the Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130961819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
