Learning Science in Immersive Virtual Reality (2018, background): “A meta-analysis of the use of VR in K–12 classrooms reported that many studies rely on a descriptive analysis based on student surveys and interviews to determine if the virtual worlds helped them learn (Cooper, 2007; Hew & Cheung, 2010; Ligorio & van Veen, 2006).”
A vision for the development of i-campus (2015, background): “Immersive educational space allows a mixed virtual and reality environments for learning intelligently which may provide a sense of “being there” and thus enrich the learning experience (Hew and Cheung 2010; Ip and Kwong 2006).”
Effectiveness of virtual reality-based instruction on students' learning outcomes in K-12 and higher education: A meta-analysis (2014, background): “A search of the literature revealed three meta-analyses (Lee, 1999; Sitzmann, 2011; Vogel et al., 2006) and a systematic review summarizing qualitative research on 3D virtual worlds (Hew & Cheung, 2010).”
