The grant recipient, George Mason University, will investigate techniques for scalable multi-user VR physics classes, create interactive VR tools for collaborative learning and teaching, and develop authoring tools to...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $669,916 and issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to improve conceptual understanding of "invisible physics" concepts through the development of evidence-based practices for using virtual reality (VR) in undergraduate engineering education. The primary objectives are to: (a) advance scientific models of human learning in VR environments, (b) provide reliable evidence on the...
- This $599,739 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to establish a collaborative student/faculty-led virtual reality (VR) research lab and curricular enhancement initiative at Glendale Community College (GCC). The primary objectives are to: 1) increase faculty engagement with VR technology, 2) enhance student engagement in STEM disciplines, and 3) improve STEM student outcomes. Key activities include engaging faculty in VR curriculum...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to develop an innovative "VirtualAI-Story" tool that integrates virtual reality (VR) and large language models (LLMs) to provide personalized, situated learning through adaptive storytelling. The $399,995 award to the University of Florida will be used to create this VR-based learning environment focused on construction engineering education, with the goal of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings award, funded under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076), provides $226,126.00 to Vanderbilt University to advance quantum education using virtual reality (VR) and machine learning. The project aims to identify and predict quantum information science (QIS) misconceptions through a controlled, general population study of the QubitVR VR application...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $300,000 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program to the University of California, Davis for a project titled "EAGER: Building a Foundation for Hands-on STEM Learning at a Distance: Pedagogical Agents for Embodied Education in Virtual Reality." The two-year project beginning August 1, 2022 will develop embodied pedagogical agents in a virtual environment to facilitate maker education tasks focusing on electronic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $399,984 Project Grant under its STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to the San Jose State University Research Foundation, a nonprofit organization, to develop and investigate the use of virtual reality (VR) tools and resources to enhance student learning and understanding of linear algebra concepts. The project aims to create a suite of VR-mediated representational tools to support student growth in 21st century mathematical skills and competencies, particularly in the areas of linear algebra which is foundational across several STEM disciplines. Over the 3-year project period, the team will develop, test, refine, and implement these VR tools, as well as supplemental instructional resources, to promote deep conceptual understanding of topics like vectors, matrices, and linear transformations. The project will also conduct research to assess the impact of the VR-mediated learning environment on student reasoning and mastery of linear algebra.
