“…The usability of Imikode VR game was evaluated in promoting the learning of introductory programming courses among participants from a Nigerian University (RQ1) and how the USE instrument contributes in ensuring users' satisfaction (RQ2). The study design comprises mixed method design which was used in order to answer the research questions similar to the methods used by Hariyanto et al (2020) and Sunday et al (2022).…”

“…VR games which are increasingly popular among children and adults develop a sense of presence that fundamentally enables them to feel connected, engage and interact within the virtual environment. Virtual reality games have gained relevance in formal, non-formal, and informal settings and across a wide range of learning topics, learning objectives, and other pedagogical attributes (Checa et al, 2019;Sunday et al, 2022).…”

Many empirical studies have shown that educational games and recent technologies impact education and increase learning effectiveness, students’ motivation and engagement. The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the usability of Imikode, a virtual reality (VR) game that was developed to introduce the concepts of object-oriented programming to novices. The improved version of the Imikode VR game consists of three features: An artificial intelligence component designed to provide real-time error feedback to users, an intelligent agent that guides and teaches users how to play the game and finally, the integration of multiple game play that gives learners more opportunities to explore the VR environment for greater immersive learning experience. This study adopted a survey approach and recruited first-year computer science students to measure learner satisfaction with educational virtual reality games and examined the correlations among the attributes of the Usefulness, Satisfaction and Ease of Use questionnaire of usage of Imikode. The results showed that the students were satisfied with Imikode and perceived the virtual reality educational game as very useful for learning object-oriented programming concepts. In addition, there was a correlation among the questionnaire variables, which means that researchers can use the instrument for future usability studies in the context. We further proffered some design recommendations for building software tools.

In this preliminary research, qualitative research was conducted through interviews with employers of computing talent, recent computing graduates, and undergraduate computing professors. The findings indicate a concerning trend of decline in the quality of undergraduate computing programs in Nigeria, primarily due to graduates' dissatisfaction with the outcome of computing education. University professors and recent graduates have offered recommendations to enhance the quality of computing education in the country.
