“…With the advent of technology, higher education qualifications have become more revered than in before. So much so that various countries have invested heavily in improving the quality of higher education, as it directly correlates to a nation's economic development (Matherly et al, 2017). Matherly et al (2017) identified an increase in salaries, enhanced employment opportunities, better mobility, a longer life expectancy, and an improved quality of life as some of the direct benefits of higher education qualifications.…”

“…In recent years, higher education has been viewed as the key to influencing holistic development (both economic and social), in emerging markets. Matherly, Amin, and Al Nahyan (2017) highlight the positive correlation, between the level of investment put into improving the quality of higher education, and the resultant increase in a nation's economic growth; insinuating that the higher the quality of a country's education system, the better the life of the inhabitants of the said country. Lane and Johnstone (2012) also make mention of the ongoing "great brain race" between various countries.…”

Continuous advancements in technology provide an opportunity for higher educational institutions to enhance the electronic learning experiences of students. Following a review of literature, this research explored student perceptions on the possible uses of virtual reality in their universities, as a way of easing their access to learning material. The research was conducted with the aim of answering the question of how virtual reality can be used to enhance learning, for higher learning institutions. Using a mixed-method research method, online surveys were distributed to registered university students in South Africa, using a simple random sampling strategy, to obtain a diverse and non-biased data set. The quantitative and qualitative responses were analyzed separately, before being triangulated, and used to inform the discussion and conclusion. Ultimately, the research found that although there are various benefits associated with the introduction of Virtual Reality-in South African Higher Education Institutions-the diverse population of participating students, and the varying differences in their socioeconomic statuses, would result in the inequitable distribution and usage of its resultant advantages.

There continue to be challenges of transfer from research evidence to practice in education. This paper reports on the implementation of a well‐evidenced Reciprocal Reading approach in 35 schools across a high poverty region in England, working cooperatively at transition between primary and secondary. The purpose of the research reported here was not to test children to establish whether Reciprocal Reading improves student outcomes, as randomised controlled trial evidence from studies in England has already established the positive impact of this approach in primary and secondary schools. Instead, a process evaluation was undertaken using naturally occurring data and staff survey data, to understand whether it is possible to implement this approach across a region with high fidelity. The theory of change exemplified in previous randomised controlled trial evaluations was used to interrogate the data in respect of teacher behaviours and attitudes, and student behaviours as reported by school staff during implementation. Findings suggest high levels of adherence to programme design and resources by schools was present across the sample during implementation, together with staff competence and positive relational factors during programme delivery. These findings are in line with health‐based research where high fidelity of implementation is used as an indicator of transfer to practice.
