Identification and Facilitation: Can the Competencies for Multidisciplinary, Interdisciplinary, and Transdisciplinary Work Be Distinguished from One Another? Open
Despite increasing interest in transdisciplinary engineering (TE), how to evaluate transdisciplinary (TD) working remains unclear. Moreover, the “right” balance of competencies of researchers, teams, and collaborators (including academic a…

The retention of information in virtual reality based engineering simulations Open
The use of VR in engineering education provides a means for contextualising learning through authentic and engaging scenarios, e.g. the touring and operation of a chemical plant. This paper presents the design of an immersive VR simulation…

Changing The Marks Based Culture Of Learning Through Peer Assisted Tutorials Open
We describe and evaluate an approach to student learning that aims to instil a culture of formative assessment based on peer-assisted self learning, instead of a marks-based culture in which learning effort is rewarded with marks that cont…

A Taxonomy for Virtual and Augmented Reality in Education Open
In this paper, a taxonomy for VR/AR in education is presented that can help differentiate and categorise education experiences and provide indication as to why some applications of fail whereas others succeed. Examples will be presented to…
