Abstract
Based on research, desktop virtual reality (DVR) has been shown to have learning benefits over traditional methods of instruction. However, implementing assistive technology (ATs) in DVR would seem to enhance the learning process. This study aimed to examine effects of web-based DVR on learning performances. The literature reviewed for this particular study ultimately shows DVR to be beneficial in training in many fields found in the workforce. The overall advantages utilizing advanced technology in the form of DVR and ATs allow safe and controlled training environments, realistic simulations, and the ability to reconstruct learner processes and interactions.
