VR vs not-VR for learning

:teach:

multimedia learning

• learn from words and pictures

coherence principle

• people learn better when extraneous words are excluded
• not just words, but details (e.g. cartoons can work better than photographs in certain settings)
• what is extraneous depends on context and learning goal

segmenting principle

• people learn better in user-directed segments

generative learning theory

• selecting, organizing, integrating

add a feature

• have people step in and out of the game to process (e.g. give them a worksheet to fill out as they play the game)

some thoughts
