“…They observed that students demonstrated statistically significant higher intrinsic motivation and lower extrinsic motivation when learning in the game-based environment. Wrzesien and Alcañiz (2010) observed a similar effect in a study of the learning of natural sciences and ecology in a primary school. One group of students carried out a learning activity in an immersive environment while the other group used a 2D representation.…”

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of emotional induction and level of immersion on knowledge acquisition and motivation. Two conditions were used for immersion modulation: a high immersive condition, which consisted of the viewing of educational content through a head-mounted-display; and a low immersive condition, which was achieved through direct viewing on a tablet. The emotional conditions, created through video simulation, consisted of a positive versus neutral mood induction procedure. The participants were 56 high school students enrolled on a social science course. The results indicate a significant effect of the positive emotion/high immersive condition in knowledge acquisition while positive emotion induction had a positive effect on the interest subscale of the motivation assessment tool used for both immersive conditions.

“…Ecology is another area which is open to the use of virtual environments. Wrzesien and Alcañiz (2010) compared an immersive environment with a non-immersive using a sample of primary students. The results were not significant, although the users described the immersive environment as being more enjoyable than the nonimmersive one.…”

“…Most online education programs still adopt a traditional homogenous learning model with one single set of learning materials for all learners, though they have different backgrounds, learning styles, and cognitive capabilities. This lack of flexibility in a homogeneous model could be one reason that VLEs supporting those online education programs have not been as successful as expected [5,6,9,23,24,27,29].…”

The background music has been proved to be an indispensable part in every successful video game. At the same time, all the video game designers and players hope video games could be as immersive as possible. Present research aimed to make an investigation about the role of video games background music in the influence of players' subjective immersion. Eighty participants were employed according to their game experience to join the experiment. All of them were assigned in pairs to finish a same video game synchronously with local area network. One was with earphone while the other not. After 20 minutes' gameplay, they needed to complete three missions (questionnaire, task after game and time distortion) with the purpose of detecting their immersion during video game. The results showed that the participants with background music got significant higher scores from questionnaire, performed worse in after-game task and expressed more serious time distortion than those participants without hearing background music. But these changes just happened to low gamers in the questionnaire and time distortion. Besides, correlations were made to find that only the questionnaire scores and time distortion were significantly related. These results of present research showed that background music did increase participants' immersion. But this improvement was likely just happened in low gamers.
