The Effectiveness of Visualization System for Virtual Reality Learning

In this study, we developed a visualization tool that shows learners’ interactive activities graphically during virtual reality (VR) education. Current VR system only shows learning content. However, we need to recognize learners’ interaction and information exchanges for increasing effectiveness of learning; also we need to show it effectively. Therefore, we developed visualization tool for VR learning based on web 2.0, and this tool helps teachers and students to monitor and percept the interaction activities among students, and thus it facilitates their interaction and learning in VR education environment. For experiments, 68 students participated in VR learning. The result shows that the interaction and the perception of effectiveness of learning are significant differences between VR system and web 2.0 VR system. Furthermore, for verify availability of usage, TAM (Technology acceptance model) analysis about the system is supported. This result will be basic material for constructing of future VR learning environment.
