Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in Multimedia Applications (Week 10 - 7.05.2020)

Virtual Reality and Augmented  Reality in Multimedia Applications   
·        Virtual reality is the simulation of  real or imagined environment that appears as three dimensional (3D) space. Artificial environment appears and feels like a real environment and allows people to explore space and manipulate the setting.
·        Augmented Reality is defined as "an enhanced version of reality created by the use of technology to add digital information on an image of something." AR is used in apps for smartphones and tablets. AR apps use your phone's camera to show you a view of the real world in front of you, then put a layer of information, including text and/or images, on top of that view.

Common properties of VR and AR
Immersion: condition where users are absorbed by an activity
Navigation: user point of view changes; people get to specific places or objects
Interaction: learner – content , learner – learner , learner – instructor

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in School Education

There are researches supporting that experiential learning is much more effective than the other methods of learning. AR and VR are the technologies that promote kinaesthetic learning by providing schools with a highly engaging, interesting, and comprehensive immersive learning experience that can be controlled and managed within the classroom. These technologies have the potential to make learning interactive and fun as well as offering experiential learning to the students.

Multimedia Principles -Cognitive Load Theory- (Week 1- 27.02.2020)

Image
M u l t i m e d i a Principles - Cognitive Load Theory According to Mayer and Moreno, the verbal (auditory) channel is responsible for processing music, sound accompanying video, and spoken words. The visual channel processes written text, animation, still images, and moving video images. This is an essential part of the   cognitive theory  of multimedia learning (CTML)  According to Cognitive Load Theory learning happens best under conditions that are aligned with human cognitive architecture. Basically this theory is related to how humans receive and process information. "Cognitive load" relates to the amount of information that working memory can hold at one time. Sweller said that, since working memory has a limited capacity, instructional methods should avoid overloading it with additional activities that don't directly contribute to learning. CLT identifies three categories of cognitive load: intrinsic, extraneous, and germane . Intrinsic load...

Multimedia learning Mayer , multimedia principles (Week 2- 5.03.2020)

Multimedia learning Mayer , multimedia principles   (Week 2- 5.03.2020) Mayer suggests 12 principles that help to structure multimedia learning experiences in order to maximize learner comprehension. Today I will mention six of them. 1. The Coherence Principle Accord  humans learn best when extraneous, distracting material is not included. For example while planning   visual elements we can reduce, simplify, and clarify. 2. The Signaling Principle This Principle states that humans learn best when they are shown exactly what to pay attention to on the screen.  Highlighting important words and using animated arrows to point out significant information are some of the easy ways to signal to the learner. 3. The Redundancy Principle This principle suggests that  humans learn best with narration and graphics, as opposed to narration, graphics, and text.  Instructor can include graphics or text, but not both together or if they are togethe...

Game Based Learning (Week 9- 30.04.2020)

Image
Game Based Learning Games can be used as a support tool to complement traditional teaching methods to improve the learning experience of the learners while also teaching other skills such as following rules, adaptation, problem solving, interaction, critical thinking skills, creativity, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. What is Game Design? Game design is the use of creativity and design to develop a game for entertainment or educational purposes. It involves creating compelling stories, characters, goals, rules and challenges that drive interactions with other characters, users or objects.  ¡   Game based learning  (GBL) is defined as learning through games (Prensky). ¡   It has type of  gameplay that has defined  learning outcomes . ¡   The core concept behind  game - based learning  is teaching through repetition, failure and the accomplishment of goals which redefines en...
