“…3-d computer graphing packages can assist the student significantly in understanding how surfaces and curves look and how they interact with one another. [15] suggests even deeper immersion into the 3d visual experience using virtual reality functionality for direct manipulation of room-sized geometric objects.…”

During the global pandemic, a drastic change in higher-level education took place in assessment. The traditional closed book format had to evolve to a technology-mediated open book assessment for engineering students in a vector calculus course. It became evident that the traditional format was no longer in line with the modern world both functionally and didactically. Such change in the assessment places a responsibility upon us as teachers for constructive alignment of the teaching and learning environment. In this paper, we identify four categories of pedagogical implications and conclude with concrete suggestions for classroom practice.

“…Desktop VR (WebVR) [18,19] uses personal computers and low-level workstations for simulation and the computer's display screen serves as a window for learners to experience VR. Desktop virtualization technology can enable the terminal desktop application environment to exist independently without relying on the hardware environment [20,21].…”

Situational teaching has become an important issue in the current development of new teaching modes. The development of the fifth generation (5G) and virtual reality (VR) technologies provide powerful support for reforming the new teaching method. The smart education application scenario implemented by the immersive 5G+ VR smart classroom renders situational English teaching more efficient. Therefore, in this study, we design and analyze a new teaching scenario based on 5G+ VR technology for situational English teaching. First, we design the overall framework of teaching around teaching goals, learner characteristics, teaching resources, and teaching evaluation. We divide the virtual classroom into three different teaching processes: before, during, and after class. Second, we form a virtual classroom teaching system, which includes a cloud system, communication equipment, and a VR classroom applet. Finally, we design the interaction scheme between teachers and students in situational English teaching. The experimental results demonstrate that our method improves teaching effectiveness, which has significant implications for English teaching.

Despite the value of VR (Virtual Reality) for educational purposes, the instructional power of VR in Biology Laboratory education remains under-explored. Laboratory lectures can be challenging due to students' low motivation to learn abstract scientic concepts and low retention rate. Therefore, we designed a VR-based lecture on fermentation and compared its eectiveness with lectures using PowerPoint slides and a desktop application. Grounded in the theory of distributed cognition and motivational theories, our study examined how learning happens in each condition from students' learning outcomes, behaviors, and perceptions. Our result indicates that VR facilitates students' long-term retention to learn by cultivating their longer visual attention and fostering a higher sense of immersion, though students' short-term retention remains the same across all conditions. This study extends current research on VR studies by identifying the characteristics of each teaching artifact and providing design implications for integrating VR technology into higher education.
