Abstract

Virtual reality enables new approaches to teaching various learning content. However, the development of learning environments is complex and there are only a few guidelines that can be used in the development of VR learning environments. This paper addresses this gap and presents the evaluation of a computer science education simulation. The questionnaire of the UXIVE model, combined with feedback analysed with systematic, rule-guided qualitative text analysis, was used to analyse the influence of user experience components. The result is a concept to transfer usability outcomes in a structured way into best practices and conditions for success.
