An Overview Of Virtual Reality-Based Educational Animation Design Optimisation

2025-01-16T11:36:16+08:00

Designing virtual reality (VR) experiences for tertiary education appropriately remains an active research topic. VR-based educational animation is seen as a low-cost VR option. It has been mentioned that more effort should be put into designing educational content and the role of design elements for VR. This thematic paper aims to explain the current research in VR-based educational animation. There have been efforts to propose strategies for collaboration with animators, improving the video quality, testing the effects of informational elements, and deriving design guidelines to enhance the video design. The overview identified loopholes and gaps, i.e., a lack of information about learners’ preferences for design elements and how to utilise the design elements better. The paper that investigates animators’ VR-based educational animation design experience is scarce. Hence, future research could investigate and fill in the gaps mentioned, which includes providing a clear description of the VR-based video design. It is hoped that this thematic paper can support and provide insights into future instructional design and development of VR-based educational animation, thus aiding its wider educational adoption.

Application Of Interdisciplinary Teaching In Museum Art Education: Case Study And Enlightenment

2025-01-16T16:06:18+08:00

Museum art education offers a dynamic platform for interdisciplinary learning. While many researchers have explored interdisciplinary approaches within traditional classrooms, few have examined how museums integrate multiple disciplines to enrich educational experiences. Some scholars have identified challenges in developing cohesive interdisciplinary models within non-traditional learning environments. Therefore, this study aims to develop a framework that combines constructivist theory, interdisciplinary teaching models, and case study methods to investigate effective interdisciplinary practices in museum art education.Using a case study approach, this paper highlights the integration of STEAM, project-based learning (PBL), and inquiry-based learning (IBL) within museum settings. Given the limited research on interdisciplinary teaching in museum art education, this paper focuses on two central questions: First, how does interdisciplinary teaching impact student engagement and comprehension in museum art education? Second, how does interdisciplinary teaching in museum education influence the development of students' creativity and critical thinking skills? This study employs qualitative thematic analysis to assess learning outcomes, specifically examining the effectiveness of interdisciplinary methods in enhancing student engagement and comprehension in museum contexts. It also investigates whether interdisciplinary teaching significantly fosters creativity and critical thinking in students. These research objectives aim to uncover the potential applications and challenges of interdisciplinary teaching in museum education, ultimately providing practical insights for future educational models.

2025-01-17T13:19:24+08:00

Printmaking, as an artistic and varied technique, involves a particular proofing and labelling process that ensures the reliability and quality of multiple impressions derived from a matrix. Printmakers face persistent challenges in achieving consistent print quality and accurate reproduction of the original design. The need for standard proofing and labelling procedures and tools for assessing and improving these issues poses a barrier to achieving the desired level of precision and consistency in print editions. This research aims to identify the standard proofing and labelling process terminology in printmaking techniques in current practices. An integrative review of the literature on the proofing and labelling process in printmaking was conducted and is suited for early-stage identifying inquiries, allowing for close investigation of data from various sources. The importance of the proofing and labelling process in maintaining artistic integrity, enhancing print quality, and contributing to the overall value of printmaking in the future. A conceptual framework was constructed to strengthen printmaking development towards the proofing and labelling process phase. Conversations and further research to explore possibilities in the proofing and labelling process could increase the relevance opportunities in printmaking.
