Enhancing distance learning with virtual reality: investigating learners’ engagement and outcomes

With the increasing use of virtual reality (VR) technology in education, it is crucial to understand the factors that affect its effectiveness. One area where VR has been utilized is in online orientation, which can be especially beneficial for distant students to start their university programs. This study examines the impact of the learner attribute, behavioral engagement, on learning outcomes in a 3D desktop VR new student online orientation. Over 100 graduate and undergraduate students participated in the study and the results from regression analyses (n = 115) indicate a very weak positive relationship between engagement and learning outcomes (R = 0.0014, p = 0.98), with a negligible proportion of variance explained by engagement. The coefficient of engagement (−0.0066) suggests a negligible and non-significant effect on the dependent variable, indicating limited predictive power. While participants report high levels of perceived engagement, concentration, control, and skilfulness during the activity, they express difficulty viewing avatars in virtual world as real people. These findings have important implications for the development and implementation of VR-based educational interventions, highlighting the need to consider learners’ engagement.

Technology Affinity, Interaction, Accessibility, Attitude to Learning, and Learning Performance: Examining the Interrelationships

There is unanimity among educational researchers regarding the causal effects of the use of technologies in education. However, issues concerning how human-technology attributes such as technology affinity, interaction, channel affinity and accessibility are related to learning remain unclear. This study examined how the levels of students’ technology affinity, interaction, and accessibility are related to the students’ attitudes to learning and learning performance. The study deployed the basic descriptive survey design. Five hundred and thirty-four students drawn from six Open and Distance Learning (ODL) universities located in three of the six States in South West, Nigeria participated. Data sources included four questionnaires and a 15-item Technology-mediated Scientific Cognitive Abilities Test. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The study found that technology affinity levels exhibited a statistically significant but negative relationship with attitude to learning (β = -0.21, t = -3.69, p = 0.0000), while the relationship with learning performance was statistically non-significant but positive (β = -0.21, t = -3.69, p = 0.692). Interaction levels exhibited a non-significant and positive relationship with attitude to learning (β = 0.05, t = 0.99, p = 0.322), and a statistically non-significant but negative relationship with learning performance (β = -0.10, t = -1.40, p = 0.161). Accessibility was significantly but negatively related to attitude to learning (β = -0.13, t = -2.242, p = 0.025, intercept = -0.88) while exhibiting a non-significant but positive relationship with learning performance (β = 0.05, t = 0.68, p = 0.499, intercept = 0.25). The study concluded that significant relationships existed among and between the ODL students’ technology attributes, attitude to learning and learning performance.

From Pen to Pixel

The use of digital technologies in higher education is continually increasing, leading to changes in language use and presumably altering the language skills needed for academic studies. However, scores from high-stakes English language proficiency (ELP) tests used in postsecondary admissions only ensure the prerequisite level of traditional English skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). Such tests generally do not directly assess technology-mediated language skills (e.g., using online dictionaries and communicating via text message) that likely facilitate successful degree completion for international students. We present results from a needs analysis survey to re-evaluate the English-medium postsecondary linguistic landscape (i.e., update the target language use domain description), to inform ELP admissions tests. We specifically investigate international student (n = 379) and disciplinary instructor (n = 427) perceptions of the importance and frequency of technology-mediated language skills. Results show that student and instructor responses differ on certain technology-mediated skills, such as typing on a smartphone, underscoring the need to consider diverse perspectives in domain analysis research. Findings may inform how digital ELP admissions tests are developed, and how English for academic purposes curricula are designed, in order to better align test/classroom tasks with the academic language skills postsecondary students need.
