TLDR
This exploratory study examined the design issues related to a virtual-reality-based, gamelike learning environment (VRGLE) developed via OpenSimulator, an open-source virtual reality server, and found the VRGLE engaging and instructive in teaching fractions.Abstract:
This exploratory study examined the design issues related to a virtual-reality-based, gamelike learning environment (VRGLE) developed via OpenSimulator, an open-source virtual reality server. The researchers collected qualitative data to examine the VRGLE’s usability, playability, and content integration for math learning. They found it important to design an intuitive game-control and interaction interface, plot playability via the combination of enjoyable virtual reality features and the rewarding mechanism, create intrinsic and balanced content-gameplay integration, and adapt to different gameplay styles. Participants found the VRGLE engaging and instructive in teaching fractions.read more

Cognitive load during problem solving: Effects on learning
TL;DR: It is suggested that a major reason for the ineffectiveness of problem solving as a learning device, is that the cognitive processes required by the two activities overlap insufficiently, and that conventional problem solving in the form of means-ends analysis requires a relatively large amount of cognitive processing capacity which is consequently unavailable for schema acquisition.
