Monitoring the Impact of Virtual Reality Learning Environments on Usability, Cognitive Load, and Visuospatial Working Memory (Poster 31)

• In Event: AERA Poster Session Fifteen
  In Poster Session: Virtual and Augmented Reality

Abstract

This study takes a theoretically grounded approach in outlying the taxonomy and operationally defining the factors for a Virtual Reality (VR) based learning environment. It assesses the usability of the virtual museum experience in a low (desktop) vs high (Head Mounted Display) system immersion and monitors its impact on learners' cognitive load. It also focuses on how individual differences in visuospatial working memory capacity impact learners’ operations and learning outcomes at different levels of immersion.
