Design of Evaluation Areas Based on Type of Mobile-Based Virtual Reality Training Content

Table 5

Concepts of evaluation items by evaluation area via the Delphi study.

ItemConcept

Learning areaItems relevant to the learning and/or learner of VR training
ActivenessRefers to the degree to which the user is able to take actions by oneself within the realized VR.
SatisfactionThe most universally used index for measuring learning efficacy. It reflects the extent to which positive educational experiences, such as concentration, relevance, and confidence, were experienced by the learner.
FlowThe positive sensation wherein a learner is completely immersed in the VR-based learning activity and is thus experiencing it in an optimal manner.
InteractivityThe degree to which the learner is permitted to use the system to acquire or access information from the contents.
Learning effectsRefers to task applicability (the degree to which the learner applies what they have learned in performing real-life tasks) and mastery (the degree to which VR has contributed to the learner’s proficiency in the training subject).

Media areaItems relevant to the media characteristics of VR training
PresenceThe subjective perception where the user experiences a sense of “being there” within virtual space, or the subjective psychological state wherein the user is unaware of experiencing things within a virtual environment.
UsabilityThe ease with which the learner can use the system, reflecting the degree of use satisfaction, efficiency, and efficacy conveyed by the experience of the VR environment.
ManipulabilityThe perceptual state where the learner feels that one is able to freely move and “manipulate” VR objects and to freely explore and “navigate” within the VR space.

Content design areaKey items relevant to the management of contents utilized in e-learning
Content designWhether by-level learning, selection of learning elements and materials, screen composition and layout, interface, and session implementation were adequately conducted.
Teaching/learning strategiesWhether teaching/learning strategies, elements of self-directed learning, and motivational strategies were adequately provided.
Learning contentsWhether learning contents, organization, level of difficulty, and study load were adequately selected.
