Learning Styles and Satisfaction in Distance Education

The following is the research question for this study. Are students’ learning styles based on the visual, auditory, tactile model correlated to satisfaction of course format in an online undergraduate course? The participants of this study were students enrolled in three sections of the Contemporary Worldviews course at a private higher education institution (HEI). Learning styles were determin...

Virtual Reality Applied in Distance Education

Learning Styles in Distance Education Students Learning to Program

This paper reports on an experiment looking at differences in students’ learning style preferences and the relationship with observed work related practices and recent findings from the ongoing research. Three questionnaires to measure learning and cognitive style preferences; Honey & Mumford, Grasha and Reichmann and an English translation of Antonietti’s questionnaire on visual and verbal str...

Using Simulation and Virtual Reality for Distance Education

This paper describes the construction of virtual reality simulations for distance education trough Internet. This is accomplished by means of an object oriented continuous simulation language, called OOCSMP, and a Java generating compiler for this language called C-OOL. This compiler is also able to create VRML worlds. The behaviour of the VRML world is specified in the OOCSMP models. Change of...

Investigating the Effect of Music on Spatial Learning in a Virtual Reality Task

Background: Spatial learning and navigation is a fundamental cognitive ability consisting of multiple cognitive components. Despite intensive efforts conducted with the assistance of virtual reality technology and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) modality, the music effect on this cognition and the involved neuronal mechanisms remain elusive. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the...
