“…Student's attention and motivation are key factors for academic performance (Savage et al, 2011, Panisoara et al, 2015, Harandi, 2015, Law et al, 2010, Mendez and Gonzalez, 2011. Hence the aim is to encourage active learning by delivering interactivity into traditionally passive learning approaches and materials -e.g., lectures and textbooks.…”

Research on the application of augmented and virtual reality (AVR) in education shows that students selfmotivation and performance increases as well as their attractiveness to new ICT-enhanced classes. The aim of this article is to explore the use of AVR as an engaging learning tool for engineering education and to present a framework for an AVR-lab for engineering education. The AVR-lab will encourage teachers to adapt classroom practices for state-of-the-art lectures that integrate AVR educational technology. The graduates of AVR-enhanced curriculum will attain new competencies in AVR, which industry analysts anticipate are vital for the 21 st century labour market.

“…Such a situation is known to increase learning opportunities [14], and favors teacher's availability to students. Commitment of the teacher and his degree of engagement towards the class are also known factors to impact student motivation positively [1]. Since motivated students are most likely to succeed and complete their program, this incentive should not be neglected in course and curriculum development.…”

“…The number of laboratories was limited to four (4), although their duration are variable and cover every week of the semester: the idea was to set conditions that would favor the adoption of a "deep" learning style by the students (on a limited number of situations), as there are indications that a too high quantum of content can cause the students to revert to a "surface" learning style to limit their risk of failing a course [1].…”

“…Student motivation is a recognized factor in academic success and student retention in an engineering curriculum [1][2][3]. While the actual conceptualization of motivation is quite variable, there seems to be a general agreement that a common source of motivation for engineering students is a "real-world" relevant approach [1,2,4].…”

“…While the actual conceptualization of motivation is quite variable, there seems to be a general agreement that a common source of motivation for engineering students is a "real-world" relevant approach [1,2,4]. However, it has been pointed out that real-world learning experiences are often quite complex, making their integration in academic courses difficult [2].…”

Globalization and the openness of the world in case of emergencies can lead to a collapse in many areas and, as a result, to an imbalance of economic systems. In such conditions, the education system should maintain stability, be sufficiently flexible in terms of teaching methods and technologies, as well as the management of processes. In the authors’ opinion, the most effective tool to manage reactively the learning process as a complex system is a feedback. In order that teachers have a real opportunity to control the quality of this process, it is necessary to identify objective criteria for the assessment of quality in the context of the differentiation of motivational attributes. In addition, this way provides for teaching staff a possibility to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular method to influence on the motivational criteria. As a case study, different student’s groups were selected to compare their involvement in the process with traditional and online forms of learning, their performance and the impact of the learning form on the projects quality prepared by students.
