Virtual Reality Edutainment: Cost-Effective Development of Personalised Software Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual Reality edutainment can provide pleasant environments for educating students through VR-games. However, as a side effect, it may impose extra difficulties to students due to the complexity of VR-game user interfaces. Moreover, creating tutoring systems that combine teaching with the sophisticated environments of VR-games can be very complicated for instructional designers. Solutions to these problems have been given through VRMulti-Author that provides a user-friendly authoring environment to instructional designers for the creation of personalised tutoring systems that perform student-player modelling and they operate as virtual reality adventure games. The common practice of modelling the student has been expanded to include domain-independent characteristics of players such as their level of gameplaying competence on top of domain-dependent characteristics such as the level of knowledge of a student in a particular domain.
