Dhimolea, Tetyana Kucher; Kaplan-Rakowski, Regina; Lin, Lin – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2022
Virtual reality (VR) can be beneficial for learning and for increasing learners' engagement and motivation. However, aggregations of studies on language learning in high-immersion VR are scarce. This paper offers a systematic review of existing research on VR-based language learning, encompassing 32 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and…

Kaplan-Rakowski, Regina; Dhimolea, Tetyana Kucher; Khukalenko, Iuliia Sergeevna – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Using Virtual Reality (VR) in educational contexts is becoming increasingly common. The ability of VR to provide authentic learning experiences is making it a particularly promising platform for language learning, but the research on its acceptance among language teachers is scarce. This paper reports the results obtained from a large-scale (N =…

Khukalenko, Iuliia Sergeevna; Kaplan-Rakowski, Regina; An, Yunjo; Iushina, Vera Dmitrievna – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
High-immersion virtual reality (VR) technology is often associated with gaming. Yet, it is increasingly popular in educational contexts due to its potential to engage and motivate learners. Prior to VR technology integration in the classroom, the acceptance or resistance toward VR needs to be explored. This paper reports the results obtained from…

Kaplan-Rakowski, Regina; Johnson, Karen R.; Wojdynski, Tomasz – Smart Learning Environments, 2021
Advocates of meditation claim that it can improve various aspects of life, including health, attention, thinking, and learning. The purpose of this empirical, quantitative, between-subject study was twofold. First, it compared the effectiveness of meditation delivered through virtual reality versus video, as measured by students' test scores.…
