Early uses of VR in education predominantly targeted themedical field. For example, VR technology was used to simulate the structure and function of theeye, allowing students to observe changes in the iris and pupil by adjusting viewpoints and objectpositions 5 . Their findings showed that VR significantly enhanced students’ engagement,motivation, and comprehension of abstract scientific concepts. Similarly, ”Merlin’s

Projects and Media Literacy in a Computer Networking CourseAbstractThis research paper examines the use of a video project for technical communication in acomputer networking course. Communication skills are of critical importance in science,technology, engineering and math (STEM) areas. However, communication is often a topic notdirectly emphasized by STEM educators in the courses they teach. One form of communicationthat is increasing in significance due to advances in digital technology is digital video. Video isnow a primary source of information, yet most people are only consumers not creators of video.In essence, they are not literate in a common form of communication.In this study, we explored the impact of

Several students reported a lack of quality internetconnection to follow course announcements, watch the video lectures, interact with theirclassmates or course instructor, and work on assignments. Other students exhibited a lack ofdigital literacy despite having access to both quality internet access and computers. Digitalliteracy widely misidentified and often referred to as device literacy- is the ability to obtain,assess, and generate information using information and communication technologies [1]. Beingdigitally literate requires the possession of both cognitive and technical skills. Based on thisdefinition, we observed many students who
