Research Title
A transformative study on the effectiveness of Extended Reality enhancing engineering education
Project Overview Description
Extended Reality (XR) simulations and learning tools have been suggested to be effective means of enhancing conceptual thinking within engineering, while simultaneously addressing issues of motivation and social interaction. This project proposes a study to increase the scientific knowledge related to XR’s integration into engineering courses.
Task one involves a design-based research approach to develop a functional learning module to be used across several engineering disciplines. Task two involves a formative assessment evaluating the effectiveness of the integrated XR module on engineering students’ learning of concepts related to spatial ability.
