q2 i? A meta-analysis of ten articles evaluating collaborative learning prototypes found a mean effect size advantage of 0.41 for XRCL over a non-immersive-based approach on student performance. → Guido Makransky · Gustav Bøg Petersen 2023

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3

The review reports, citing Zheng et al. (2018), a meta-analysis of ten articles comparing a collaborative learning prototype against a non-immersive-based approach on student performance. The review attributes the reported "mean effect size advantage of 0.41" to that meta-analysis and notes the authors "did not provide an overview of the included articles or information about sample sizes or the quality of the methods".

"Although the mean effect size advantage of 0.41 for XRCL (labelled VRCL in their article) was encouraging, the authors did not provide an overview of the included articles or information about sample sizes or the quality of the methods."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Perceived presence and co-presence in a collaborative setting were higher in XRCL than in computer-based collaborations — related
• Immersive lessons show a small effect size advantage over less immersive technology, but increased presence does not necessarily lead to more learning — a broader claim this one bears on
