The Influence of Immersive Virtual Field Trips on Academic Vocabulary

"An immersive virtual fled trip (iVFT) is a form of virtual reality (VR). The term immersive refers to an experience where the senses become heightened through multisensory input (e.g., visual, auditory, proprioceptive). When adding peripherals such as a head-mounted device (HMD) (e.g., goggles with 3D-lenses), a mobile phone becomes a pseudo-theater providing a 360-degree view that mimics the real world. For example, one can experience a simulated rollercoaster or visit the moon that may otherwise be inaccessible in day-to-day life. Also, a VFT provides for context and aids in background knowledge that is a crucial aspect of learning.~Participants will receive three interventions sessions each last 15-minutes."
