Anazco, Mayari Serrano MULTIMODAL VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: THE EFFECTS OF VISUO-HAPTIC SIMULATIONS ON CONCEPTUAL LEARNING <p>Presently, it is possible to use virtual learning environments for simulating abstract and/or complex scientific concepts. Multimodal Virtual Learning Environments use multiple sensory stimuli, including haptic feedback, in the representation of concepts. Past research</p> <p>on the utilization of haptics for learning has shown inconsistent results when gains in conceptual knowledge had been assessed. This research focused on two abstract phenomena</p> <p>Electricity and Magnetism and Buoyancy. These abstract concepts were experienced by students using either visual, visuo-haptic, or hands-on learning activities. Embodied</p> <p>Cognition Theory was used as a for the implementation of the learning environments. Both phenomena were assessed using qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques.</p> <p>Results suggested that haptic, visual, and physical modalities affected positively the acquisition of conceptual knowledge of both concepts.</p> visuo-haptic simulation;haptic feedback;buoyancy;electricity and magnetism;multimodal learning environments;Educational Technology and Computing 2020-05-03
