In this study, we investigate the attitudes of students towards an immersive educational instruction method used to augment in-person biology laboratories. Specifically, we employ the Oculus Quest 2 in a mid-sized biology classroom setting to conduct a virtual heart dissection instructional class using Virtual Reality (VR). We engaged with 23 students from a Singaporean secondary school to gather insights into their experiences and perspectives. The focus of this study is twofold: firstly, to assess the potential of VR technology, particularly the Oculus Quest 2, as a tool for enhancing learning in biology, and secondly, to evaluate the feasibility of replacing traditional in-person laboratory settings with VR-based learning environments. By examining the students' experiences, this research sheds light on the effectiveness of VR technology in enhancing academic engagement and understanding of this specific content taught in a standardized biology syllabus. Our findings reveal that the integration of Oculus Quest 2 with VR can significantly stimulate student interest in this topic. The study provides insights into how VR as part of educational technology can transform the traditional learning experience, offering a more interactive and engaging approach to education in biology. These results have important implications for the future of educational methodologies in science and technology subjects.

The Metaverse, a transformative digital realm, holds immense promise for reshaping industries and human interactions while potentially addressing global challenges and democratizing opportunities. However, it also introduces a spectrum of complexities that demand careful navigation. To establish trustworthiness within the Metaverse ecosystem, gaining a deep understanding of its applications, challenges, and existing solutions is imperative. In this comprehensive survey, we first delve into Metaverse applications, drawing insights from existing literature. Subsequently, we explore the diverse challenges the Metaverse presents, analyzing them through the lens of existing research. We then scrutinize the overall trustworthiness of the Metaverse environment and investigate existing solutions to previously identified challenges through a thorough review and analysis of pertinent literature. Lastly, we discussed future research directions aimed at fostering a trustworthy Metaverse environment. This comprehensive review can provide an overview of the Metaverse, its application domains, challenges, existing solutions and research directions for many multidisciplinary studies.

With Augmented Reality (AR) emerging as a revolutionary tool that reshapes conventional learning paradigms, the fusion of technology and education has given rise to creative educational approaches. This essay offers a thorough examination of augmented reality's place in education, highlighting its potential to improve pedagogy, engage students, and fundamentally alter the educational landscape. The essay starts by defining augmented reality as a link between the real and virtual worlds that provides an immersive and interactive learning experience. It explores the many uses of augmented reality, including anatomy classes with 3D interactive models and historical reenactments that take pupils back in time. These case studies show how augmented reality encourages participation, improves comprehension, and contextualizes learning materials. The fundamental ideas that underpin successful AR-enhanced schooling are presented in this study. It places a strong emphasis on scaffolding learning experiences, interaction, contextual relevance, and alignment with learning objectives. The difficulties of deploying AR are also discussed, giving educators ideas for a successful integration. These difficulties include technology infrastructure, educator training, content quality, and economic considerations. The research focuses on the potential of augmented reality to foster active learning. The relationship between augmented reality (AR) and active learning is examined, emphasizing the ways in which AR supports collaborative activities, problem-solving, and individualized learning paths. By imagining the role that augmented reality (AR) will play in future education, including personalized learning, virtual field excursions, mixed reality collaboration, and AI-driven adaptive learning, the essay demonstrates the revolutionary power of AR. The ethical challenges surrounding AR in the classroom are also covered, with a focus on the importance of addressing data protection, digital literacy, and responsible technology use. In order to prepare students for the challenges of a connected world while nurturing a lifetime love of learning, the study finishes by presenting augmented reality as a cornerstone of educational design. In essence, this article offers a thorough analysis of Augmented Reality's effects on education, highlighting its potential to transform pedagogy, improve learning opportunities, and influence the direction of education in the future. Educators are given a comprehensive grasp of how to use augmented reality to build immersive, successful learning environments by looking at case studies, design principles, difficulties, and future prospects
