, 2006 Immersive Collaborative Laboratory Simulations Using a Game EngineAbstractThis paper discusses the possibility of using a commercial game engine, such as the “Source”engine used in “Half-Life 2”, to implement an immersive and collaborative virtual laboratoryenvironment that will enable multiple students to perform educational laboratory experimentsimulations. These simulations will involve real-time student interaction through a computernetwork, and they will benefit the students by stimulating the different modalities of learning, i.e.visual, audio, read/write and kinesthetic.By using an existing commercial computer game engine, the need for creating from the groundup the components that are combined into an interactive virtual world
Engineering Education, 2019 Unreal Collaboration: Exploring the Use of Formal Collaborative Learning Strategy in Games Development CourseworkAbstractAn unpleasant sense of isolation is a common complaint amongst computing students andprofessionals alike. It is a well-documented cause of attrition throughout the discipline, one towhich those from backgrounds already underrepresented in computing are particularlyvulnerable. Though no silver bullet exists, collaborative work and learning strategies (such aspair programming) are a well-researched, commonly-practiced means of deterring this sense ofisolation. However, studies on the employment of collaborative learning strategies in college-level computing coursework have focused almost

American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Usability Evaluation of a Virtual Educational Laboratory PlatformAbstractTaking advantage of videogame technology, game engine-based virtual laboratories are able tooffer promising immersive and collaborative learning experiences. Research indicates that suchvirtual laboratories can be viable alternative forms for laboratory learning activities with specialadvantages in distance education applications. Various researchers also evaluated whetherstudents learned target knowledge via virtual laboratory exercises. However, several questionsemerged during these evaluations: Can students complete this new form of laboratory exercises,which they have not encountered before, in an effective way? Can
