Abstract:
This work is a follow up to our previous studies “2D Virtual Learning Environments for Tertiary Education” carried out in 2022 and “Comparison of 2D Virtual Learning Environments with Classic Video Conferencing Systems for Tertiary Education” carried out in 2023. The main focus was to analyse the suitability of a 2D Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for tertiary education using the desktop-based 2D immersive environment 'gather.town' and to compare it with classic video conferencing systems. In these two studies, the results suggest that the immersive 2D environment is holistically suitable as a learning environment in the tertiary sector, and including exam grades it, was found that students perform better with virtual 2D learning environments than with classic video conferencing systems. In this short paper, we conclude the study of the Master`s courses with the video conferencing system in the series of seminars and look forward to the next round of examination with the virtual 3D learning environment.
