New Perspectives on Virtual and Augmented Reality: Finding New Ways to Teach in a Transformed Learning Environment

Linda Daniela presents her edited volume, New Perspectives on Virtual and Augmented Reality: Finding New Ways to Teach in a Transformed Learning Environment, as a comprehensive and multidisciplinary exploration of the role of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in education. The book unites contributions from researchers and practitioners who navigate through innovative strategies, technological tools, and pedagogical approaches to integrate immersive technologies into diverse teaching and learning contexts. The volume underscores how immersive environments foster active, situated, and collaborative learning experiences. VR and AR enable learners to engage in embodied cognition, where knowledge is constructed through direct interaction with digital simulations and contextualized experiences. These theoretical foundations highlight the pedagogical value of immersion, presence, and interactivity in promoting deeper understanding, skill development, and emotional engagement.
