Immersive Technologies for Special Students in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review
Keywords:
higher education, immersive technologies, augmented reality, virtual reality, special educationAbstract
In recent years, immersive technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have garnered considerable attention for their potential to revolutionize educational practices, particularly in higher education. This study delves into the transformative capacity of AR and VR in enhancing learning experiences specifically for special students within higher education contexts. Employing a systematic literature review methodology, the research synthesizes existing studies focused on using AR and VR technologies in higher education, with a particular emphasis on special education. The findings underscore the significant potential of AR and VR to promote inclusive education and equity within higher education settings. These technologies offer tailored learning experiences that cater to the diverse needs of special students, ultimately enhancing comprehension and engagement through immersive and interactive environments. Moving forward, the study suggests several future research directions, including the need for empirical studies to assess the effectiveness of immersive technologies in supporting special students’ learning outcomes.
