The authors plan to collect assessment data, analyze it, and establish assessment criteria aspart of their future work.Research MotivationSeveral researchers have introduced and implemented VR and AR into construction education [5].Integrating technology in education has always enhanced students' productivity and learningstrategies. There are two primary reasons for this research: 1) to introduce technologicalinnovations in the classroom that not only showcase fancy, state-of-the-art equipment but also helpstudents achieve their SLOs by engaging with technological

to promote student engagement and significantly impact student learning.The effectiveness of an active learning method varies from many methods that are often used inonline settings due to its focus on engaging learners through interactive and participatoryactivities. Active learning requires students to actively participate in the learning process byengaging in discussions, problem-solving activities, and collaborative projects, as opposed topassive learning methods where students passively receive information [6]. This hands-onapproach encourages deeper understanding, critical thinking, and retention of knowledge [7].Active learning approaches also promote interaction and collaboration among learners,cultivating a sense of community and
