Abstract
The importance of learner autonomy has been researched for at least two decades. However, it has been critiqued that most research mainly focused on theoretical explanations and was based on anecdotal evidence (Dalgarno and Lee in Br J Educ Technol 41(1):10–32, 2010; Hew and Brush in Educ Technol Res Dev 55(3):223–252, 2007). Therefore, this study aims to explore how learner autonomy is influenced by new technologies (a 3D virtual learning platform: Build & Show, BS and (2) an analysis of the students’ self-assessment of learner autonomy supported with the qualitative data. Based on these results, the possible approaches to improving learner autonomy in a 3D virtual world have been discussed.
