Doctoral Colloquium—Social, Technological, & Pedagogical Design Considerations of SVVR Systems for Autistic Learners: a Systematic Literature Review

PRESENTER: Charles Thull

ABSTRACT. Autistic learners benefit from instructional design that accommodates learning differences (i.e. communication, social skills, and executive functions). Spherical video virtual reality (SVVR) is a cost effective approach that allows designers to provide a supportive learning environment for autistic users. This systematic literature review considers learner experience design and the socio-technical-pedagogical framework for usability to evaluate and describe SVVR research for autistic learners.

Evaluating the Usability of Autistic Adults Using a Public Transportation Virtual Reality System

PRESENTER: Eden Hartigan

ABSTRACT. This study presents Virtuoso, a virtual reality program that was designed to teach skills related to using public transportation on a university campus for autistic adults. The study evaluated the Virtuoso program using a design-based research framework, with a focus on evaluating the second prototype of the VR system with a focus on examining system usability.

Exploring the Intersection of AI, Art, and Immersive Learning: AI imagery as Data Analysis as AI Art Exhibition

ABSTRACT. AI Art as a Form of Data Analysis: Exploring the Intersection of Technology, Creativity, and Post-Humanism. This exhibition/paper explores the ways in which AI art can be used as a form of data analysis, and explore its potential to shape the future of creativity and post-humanism. Showcase the current state of AI art and its role in the intersection of technology and creativity, as well as its implications for post-humanism. Additionally, analyse the ways in which immersive learning can enhance the understanding and appreciation of AI art. Through a combination of literature review and examples, this exhibition/paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of the potential of AI art as a form of data analysis for immersive learning and educational research.
