Research-Based Principles in Virtual-Reality Environment: A Systematic Review

• In Event: Cognitive Principles in Technology Environments

Abstract

Despite the growing interest in educational virtual reality (VR) technologies, very few studies have holistically examined the state of research-based cognitive principles used in virtual learning environments. We report a systematic review of relevant literature on research-based cognitive principles in virtual environments in this work-in-progress. A synthesis of ten studies revealed different types of cognitive principles used in virtual environments. We identified eight multimedia principles applied in educational VR contexts. Our preliminary findings suggest that most multimedia learning principles are equally relevant to positive learning outcomes in virtual environments.
