coursesThis paper explains the design of a prototype desktop and augmented Virtual Reality (VR) frameworkas a medium to deliver instructional materials to the students in an introductory computer animationcourse. This framework was developed as part of a Teaching Innovation Grant to propose a cost-effective and innovative instructional frameworks to engage and stimulate students. Desktop-basedvirtual reality presents a 3-dimensional (3D) world using the display of a standard desktop computeravailable in most of the PC labs on campus. This is a required course at this university that has studentsnot only from the primary department, but from other colleges/departments as well. Desktop VR hasbeen chosen as a medium for this study due to the ease-of

sustainability are enforced but nottrusted. The problem seems to resonate on the motives not the practice, hence, it is veryimportant to quantify sustainability and show measurable merits that encourage professionals toadhere to sustainability. Textbook pedagogy succeeds in explaining the procedure but failed toprovoke the student’s interest, therefore, a new methodology is needed to teach sustainability tofreshmen engineering students by means of interactive and collaborative approaches. The coregoal of this work is to engage the students’ skills and enhance their social, environmental andeconomic confidence to generate solutions that are both sustainable and humane. One of theobjectives is to expose the students to engineering tools such as CAD

topologies and configuration, troubleshooting, and management of network devices such as routers and switches. YouTube is a video sharing website that can provide free educational tutorials and instructions on technical subject matter, where students can observe practical human-machine interaction to prepare for lectures and increase overall course performance on exams, assignments, and laboratory projects. Our goal was to compare the overall performance as well as the level of active class participation between two groups of the same computer networking course. We found that the group that used YouTube videos for pre-lecture preparation, consisting of 83 students, scored approximately 3% higher on exams but 5
