Cross Reality (XR) and Immersive Learning Environments (ILEs) in Education

Cross Reality (XR) and Immersive Learning Environments (ILEs) in Education

This timely volume highlights the novel ways in which cutting-edge virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) technology is being used in STEM education. Today there are many exciting advances occurring in Immersive Learning Environments (ILEs) and innovative applications in STEM education. Recent breakthroughs in technologies such VR AR and Mixed Reality (MR) as well as Cross Reality (XR) that leverages VR AR and MR are finally making it feasible for educators in STEM to adopt ILEs in their classrooms in a scalable manner. Edited by experienced XR researchers in STEM education Wang Ryoo and Winkelmann the book focuses on the use of ILEs for creating experiences that excite inspire and engage learners in STEM disciplines. Chapters include research studies and practical applications addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with adopting technologies. This book covers the entire spectrum of immersive platform types and ILEs such as desktop mobile wearable and room-based. It helps advance research and practice in the novel adoption of ILE technologies into STEM education from technical theoretical/conceptual empirical and/or methodological perspectives. Cross Reality (XR) and Immersive Learning Environments (ILE) in Education will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of education STEM education instructional design and technology educational research educational technology research methods information and communications technology and curriculum and instruction. This book was originally published as a special issue of Interactive Learning Environments. | Cross Reality (XR) and Immersive Learning Environments (ILEs) in Education

Containerization in Maritime Transport Contemporary Trends and Challenges

Containerization in Maritime Transport Contemporary Trends and Challenges

Containerization provides optimization of handling processes in terms of intermodality and efficient cargo handling and maritime transport in particular it provides further optimization of shipping processes in terms of volume and distance. Containerization has become the most significant factor stimulating the development of modern global trade. With the progress of globalization taken into account (longer distances and increasing cargo volumes) it can be seen that cargo becomes predestined to be transported by sea which encourages ship owners to enlarge their fleets of container ships. Containerization in Maritime Transport: Contemporary Trends and Challenges addresses the key challenges to maritime transport and containerization beginning with economic and managerial factors through organizational technical operational information and IT challenges and ending with ecological challenges—ideally to lessen the environmental impacts of maritime transport. Features: Discusses the latest technological advances in shipping including augmented reality (AR) virtual reality (VR) artificial intelligence (AI) 5G networks smart camera and computer vision systems and digital twin technology. Presents ecological considerations and solutions that are indispensable to develop efficient and safe green supply chains. Examines the economic aspects of shipping with regard to transport and container handling costs in international trade. | Containerization in Maritime Transport Contemporary Trends and Challenges

Exploring Extended Realities Metaphysical Psychological and Ethical Challenges

Exploring Extended Realities Metaphysical Psychological and Ethical Challenges

This volume highlights interdisciplinary research on the ethical metaphysical and experimental dimensions of extended reality technologies including virtual and augmented realities. It explores themes connected to the nature of virtual objects the value of virtual experiences and relationships experimental ethics moral psychology in the metaverse and game/simulation design. Extended reality (XR) refers to a family of technologies aiming to augment (AR) or virtually replace (VR) human experience. The chapters in this volume represent cutting-edge research on XR experiences from a wide range of approaches including philosophy psychology Africana studies and cognitive sciences. They are organized around three guiding questions. Part 1 “What is Extended Reality?” contains a series of chapters examining metaphysical questions about virtual objects actions and worlds. Part 2 “Is There an Ethics for Extended Realities?” includes chapters that address ethical questions that arise within XR experiences. Finally Part 3 “What Can We Do with Extended Realities?” features chapters from a diverse group of social scientists on the potential uses of XR as an investigative and educational tool including its strengths and pitfalls. Exploring Extended Realities will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of technology metaphysics moral psychology applied ethics and game studies. | Exploring Extended Realities Metaphysical Psychological and Ethical Challenges

Universities Stakeholders and Social Mission Building Cooperation Through Action Research

Universities Stakeholders and Social Mission Building Cooperation Through Action Research

Today's universities are confronted with questions about the increasing scale of corporatisation and commercialisation as well as their decreasing activity in the field of the social mission i. e. engagement in the real problems of ordinary people local communities and society at large. As a remedy for this problem this book proposes using action research as a means of shaping collaboration between universities and their stakeholders taking into account related benefits opportunities and challenges. In this context we understand action research somewhat more broadly as universities’ conducting useful research that becomes a domain of their social mission. The core message of this volume is the development of a cooperation process in which the university leaves its ivory tower builds relationships with its stakeholders and as a result engages more effectively in social life. In this book readers will find an original perspective on action research the application of which enables mutual benefits for universities and their stakeholders. It presents the authors’ original model of cooperation based on the AR approach and concrete examples of successful cooperation between universities and their stakeholders. Step by step it illustrates how to initiate cooperation conduct useful scientific research and together with stakeholders bring about changes in social life. This book will be of value to university managers academics students of social management and economic sciences as well as managers and specialists employed in organisations from various sectors that may be interested in cooperation with universities.
