Learning in the field: Comparison of desktop, immersive virtual reality, and actual field trips for place-based STEM education
with Jiayan Zhao, Peter LaFemina, Julia Carr, Pejman Sajjadi, Jan Oliver Wallgrün, and Alexander Klippel as authors has been accepted for the IEEE VR 2020 conference.
This study provides empirical evidence of the potential of virtual field trips to
support and enhance field-based learning in geoscience education. Specifically, our results revealed a significant positive effect of both desktop and immersive virtual field trips against a traditional field trip on students’ learning experience and perceived learning outcomes.
