This study tries to apply wireless technologies to build a highly interactive environment. For this purpose, this study first identifies four types of interaction between the members in the technology-embedded classroom contexts, including: (1) face-to-face interaction; (2) computer-mediated interaction; (3) human-computer interaction; and (4) personal device supported simultaneous group intera...

This paper describes the stages in the development of an online 3D interactive virtual learning environment for use in art and design higher education. The 3D interactive environment enables users to experiment within virtual workshop and studio spaces independently or as multi-user groups. The environment will create opportunities for adding interactive 3D on-line teaching support materials, l...

The proper combination of Hypermedia and interactive multimedia systems for a particular learning style can greatly enhance the learning environment. By interacting with this virtual environment, the learner can gain practical experience. This paper describes a Web-based training application based on adaptive Hypermedia and interactive multimedia to train the users to configure and use a new so...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Extension employees' learning styles and their performance in three different types of learning environments: traditional face-to-face instruction, minimally interactive online instruction, and highly interactive, multimedia-rich online instruction. Keith Golay's Learning Pattern Assessment and a ten-question post-test were u...

3-D virtual worlds are increasing in popularity as a medium for higher education. In this research, we assess the efficacy of two instruction strategies in a virtual world environment, Second Life, and their effects on interactivity, social presence, and perceived learning. The two instruction strategies are direct and interactive instruction strategies. Our findings suggest that the interactiv...
