This paper presents ongoing research aimed at improving surveying education through the use of virtual environments. Teaching surveying presents several challenges such as low student competence in mathematics, geometry and trigonometry, limited student access to instruments, limited availability of terrains on which to practice, dependency on weather conditions, and more. Prior research sugges...

Despite the large amount of research related to three-dimensional Virtual Learning Environments (3D VLEs), assessment of knowledge acquisition is still incipient. As a way of contributing to ascertain how and how much 3D VLEs collaborate with the process of obtaining knowledge, we propose a Theoretical Model for Assessment of Knowledge Acquisition from the perspective of Cognitive Theories. In ...

Design and Development of Blended Learning is a challenging task than it is anticipated when we consider features and facilities in a Learning Management System (LMS). In this paper, we present what those challenges and how we have solved both technical as well as social problems in implementing a blended learning environment for the University of Colombo School of Computing (UCSC). It is very ...

There is a trend in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) towards flexible and adapted learning experiences that modify their contents and behavior to suit the needs of different learners. On the other hand, the use of educational videogames is also an emerging trend to address diverse aspects, such as student engagement and exploratory learning. Additionally, videogames support adaptation in a n...

This paper describes the development and implementation of a first year undergraduate law module which has been redesigned to enable the embedding of Personal Development Planning (PDP) within the curriculum. The module has been delivered through a combination of both face-to-face classroom and online activities using a virtual learning environment (VLE). The institutional background consists o...

The century is marked by information that can accessed anyone, anytime and anywhere, computing or use robots, automation work done routinely communication becomes unlimited every aspect people's lives. purpose this research to, 1) find out feasibility dev...

Background. Blended learning (BL) requires a virtual learning and online environment (VLE), which makes available a process for establishing learning communities. The Faculty of Physical Education at the University of Jordan designed several courses which incorporate blended learning with contact classes and online components on e-learning models. Objectives. The present study is to investigat...

The Open University, an open distance learning institution, is increasingly using a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) that requires internet access. This paper investigates how the move to a VLE has affected one group of students who do not have internet access – offender learners studying in prison. Members of the armed forces and secure hospital patients also have restricted access to the in...

This study explores secondary school students’ competencies and motivation to engage in mathematical modelling (MM) tasks a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). The is based theoretically on the didactical cycle sub-competencies required for its application, situated expectancy-value theory, VLEs’ design literature. Participants were 770 ninth graders who took part 5-day online summer camp, desi...
