In this paper, the authors describe an emerging paradigm of educational research that pairs theories of embodied learning with a class of immersive technologies referred to as mixed reality (MR), where, for example, students can use their bodies to simulate an orbit around a virtual planet.Abstract:
The authors describe an emerging paradigm of educational research that pairs theories of embodied learning with a class of immersive technologies referred to as mixed reality (MR). MR environments merge the digital with the physical, where, for example, students can use their bodies to simulate an orbit around a virtual planet. Recent research supports the idea that body activity can be an important catalyst for generating learning, and new technologies are being developed that use natural human physicality and gesture as input. However, existing research on embodied learning technologies has been disparate, driven largely by specific technical innovations and constraints, and often lacking a clear focus on establishing their efficacy in educational contexts. On the basis of the unique characteristics of these technologies and on their own experiences conducting research in this area, the authors put forth six precepts for embodied learning technology researchers that pertain to the rationale, design, and...read more

Social Affordances of Mixed Reality Learning Environments: A case from the Science through Technology Enhanced Play project (STEP)
Noel Enyedy,Joshua A. Danish,David DeLiema,Asmalina Saleh,Christine Lee,Noelani Morris,Randy Illum +6 more
TL;DR: The design of the Science through Technology Enhanced Play project is described and prepost analyses indicate that the majority of students learned the content and demonstrate how the affordances of the socio-technical system promoted the transition from individual observation to collective inquiry.

Mixed-Reality Learning Environments: What Happens When You Move from a Laboratory to a Classroom?.
TL;DR: This article investigated similarities and differences in learning between students who completed the activity individually during a one-on-one interview and students who observed others complete the activity during whole-class instruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Showing, Not Telling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the process drama convention of tableau as an example of collaborative, embodied learning that gets students out of their seats and moving as they create representations of texts.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A development environment to customize assessment through students interaction with multimodal applications
TL;DR: This work presents a visual development environment that supports the creation of multimodal interactive applications for learning with non-intrusive monitoring capacities, thus providing teachers the opportunity to create their own learning analytics tools even if they are not skilled in computer programming.
Riding to Learn: Informal Science in Adult Cycling Communities
TL;DR: Riding to Learn: Informal Science in Adult Cycling Communities as mentioned in this paper ) is a collection of articles about riding to learn in adult cycling communities with a focus on education and sustainability.

Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.

A Taxonomy of Mixed Reality Visual Displays
Paul Milgram,Fumio Kishino +1 more
TL;DR: Paul Milgram's research interests include display and control issues in telerobotics and virtual environments, stereoscopic video and computer graphics, cognitive engineering, and human factors issues in medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Six views of embodied cognition.
TL;DR: The sixth claim has received the least attention in the literature on embodied cognition, but it may in fact be the best documented and most powerful of the six claims.
Book
How the body shapes the mind
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the origins of the notion of EMBODIMENT and explore the connections between physics, philosophy, and pathology, focusing on pseudoscience.
