About Conference

In recent years, Virtual and Augmented Reality has entered into almost all sectors and elevated the sophistication to a whole new level. VR/AR has changed the face of interaction and redefined the ways we humans interact with machines.

In the field of education, in particular, VR/AR has brought us a platform where anything is possible. We could now enjoy the true power of experimental learning. All nuances of engineering, medical sciences are now just a simulation away! Not only that, but VR/AR also been proven to increase students’ engagement and motivation levels.

VR/AR-powered education is a boon to visual learners and often acts as an effective alternative to traditional learning methods. Due to the rapid development in the smartphone technology and Internet connection speeds, VR/AR assisted learning has become more reachable and thus trending in the learning sector.

Call for Papers

Conference Theme - "The applications of Virtual and Augmented Reality in the field of Education"

The VIT School of Design (V-SIGN) at Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, India – welcomes the submission of papers to this virtual conference with pride.

For over a decade, educational researchers and practitioners have been exploring how innovative means could be integrated into traditional learning to enrich the learning experience and enhance learning effectiveness. Enabled by these innovative means, brand new learning environments can be created to better support teaching and learning activities in different subject disciplines at different levels, for example – Education environments powered by VR/AR. They emphasize learning flexibility, effectiveness, efficiency, engagement, and reflectiveness, where both formal and informal learning is integrated. It is believed that learning experience can be enriched and that learning effectiveness can be enhanced, through the adaptation of individual learning traits and preferences, increased degree of engagement, timely feedback and guidance, and provision of media-rich contents. Along with the advent of mobile and smart devices, the learning environments would operate on huge heterogeneous network infrastructures that provide augmented experiences that can mobilize learning activities, encourage interactive collaborations through social media, and at the same time facilitate the collection of learning-related data for analytic purposes. All these are actively investigated by educational researchers and practitioners in the field.

This call intends to disseminate the latest research findings and share good practices on future learning environments, from both pedagogical and technological perspectives.
