Effectiveness of Dual-Screen e-Learning Material Studying in 360-Degree VR Environment

Abstract

An e-Learning video having more than one screen enables users to compare the various sources with 360-degree video streaming situation learning environment. Moreover, learners can use 360-degree multiple illustrations to develop their interrelated concept and knowledge. This proposed solution could provide learners during self-learning by addressing and enhancing their physical and psychological factors including attention and cognitive load. However, attention is a mental phenomenon that humans cannot always focus on simultaneous presentations of information. Cognitive load may become profoundly heavy while processing rich information from multiple sources simultaneously. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the split-attention effect, worked example effect, and learning achievement of using multiple screens in learning environments for a Discrete Mathematics course. The results of this study showed significant differences of two learning effects and learning achievement of learners between two learning environments. To conclude, this study may provide evidence toward explaining the influences of split attention of learners and their learning with worked examples and the effects of learning in a 360-degree multiple-screen video streaming environment, as well as in providing users with another suggestion for using the multiple - screen environment in e-Learning.
