Finally a large study? Did you read it. Is the method solid?

xrdigest.bsky.social•23 days ago

Lots of good aspects like pre- and post- measures, randomised control groups, and of course the sample size. Worth noting the specific outcome is perceived competence (on the part of the student) so it's limited to that (rather than actual competence) 1/2

But some issues with protocols changing over time as it's a longitudinal study. IMHO perfect studies are hard to find (if they exist at all) but there is lots here that is sound. If I started the course at Uni of Munster and had to choose I'd take the VR version based on this 😊 2/2

Just my take though, sure others might see it differently!

Thx, and yes I guess the problem then can be how much is the excitement factor of new cool tech🤔?

xrdigest.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yes, agreed. It's a big question for educational applications (and others). Only time will tell I guess, but I'm hopeful that even with novelty diminished there will still be something of value there. You may be less hopeful?!

My biggest concern is eye constraints, ofc the industry will claim no issues.
Other than that XR is the future here. My hopes and thoughts are a little more towards AR.
