Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advancement of technology, education and other means of instructions have also undergone a significant transformation. Education often entails the challenging goal of delivering significant content to students. A useful and effective method to achieve the intended purpose is to make the education content more enjoyable. Modern technology, such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and, a more recently coined term, extended reality (XR), can play an important role to this end. It allows the students to experience a more positive blend of practically and imagination during learning. Modern gadgets enabling virtual experiences are becoming more affordable, thereby, allowing a good scalability of these devices in universities and schools.
In this Special Issue on the Higher education and Its Improvement Through Virtual Reality, we invite original research articles and reviews dealing with the higher education and AR/VR/MR/XR in their various forms.
Topics of interest to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Literature reviews, survey papers connecting education and AR/VR/MR/XR;
- Application and development of educational curriculum using AR/VR/MR/XR;
- Empirical or case studies of educational programs/curriculums involving AR/VR/MR/XR;
- Adaptation or evolution (including impact, benefits and/or limitations) of old curriculum with AR/VR/MR/XR;
- Social or cultural factors dealing with AR/VR/MR/XR when applied to education;
- Application of AR/VR/MR/XR when dealing with education, and remote education in times of COVID-19.
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.
