Teacher Technology Education for Spatial Learning in Digital Immersive Virtual Environments

Abstract

The aim of this research is to deepen how teacher technology education can be designed to enhance spatial education, which is intertwined with digital education. The evolution of technology resources can actually sustain spatial learning. In the last years, the user experience has been improved by open-source, collaborative user-generated, and immersive content of synthetic learning environments. This research analyses which spatial design principles have influenced the virtual worlds of digital immersive virtual learning environments. In 3D virtual learning environments spatial interaction is really developed and may open full accessibility to further studies on digital and spatial education. In the joined field of learning and ICT, the main scope of digital technology knowledge sharing, and re-shaping, is the enhancement of digital skills based on experiences in educational activities and the re-thinking of the nature and the format of educational curriculum to implement more experiences in the digital—and, possibly, spatial—fields.
