Research Aim and Contribution

In this study, we aim to examine the educational functions served by immersive technologies across disciplinary contexts through a multiple-case comparative study. In so doing, we seek to develop a typology of educational functions served by immersive technologies to guide curriculum designers of higher education in choosing and designing immersive experiences based on educational intent rather than technology alone.

• Assist in collecting, organising, and managing research data, including project documentation, interviews, and student survey responses.
• Support qualitative data analysis, including coding project documents and interview transcripts to identify educational functions and pedagogical practices.
• Assist in quantitative data analysis of survey responses
• Assist in preparing research summaries, reports, presentations, and other research-related materials.
• Perform other research-related duties as assigned by the Principal Investigator.
