iVRLab Presented at the AERA2021 Annual Meeting
In this study, we report an immersive virtual reality lab (iVRLab) training environment that offers college students an immersive and embodied experience in engineering lab work. Fourteen college students participate in the lab training and study results reveal positive learning effects, confidence levels, and embodied experiences. Such results are examined and discussed through the lenses of cognitive load and embodied learning theories. The study offers reference for peer researchers and practitioners for the design and implementation of similar immersive VR systems. More results will be reported during the conference.
