Ph.D. Project
Topic: Learning within virtual environments: cognitive load caused by
Presence and Performance
Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Dr. Friedrich Hesse (University of
Tübingen), Prof. Dr. Hans Spada (University of Freiburg)
Start/End of the Ph.D. project: Aug 2000 - Sep 2003
Summary
The goals I want to meet within my work are:
- comparison of the theoretical approaches of cognitive load and learning with
desktop-based virtual environments
- conception of a framework for research in the field of issues that influence
cognitive load in virtual reality environments
- research on relevant variables of the framework such as presence,
navigation techniques and spacial metaphors in a field study and
- examination of core variables in an experimental design
