SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON ENGINEERING SCIENCE AND T...

This book is aimed to help instructional designers  science game designers  science faculty 
lab designers  and content developers in designing interactive learning experiences using
emerging technologies and cyberlearning. The proposed solutions are for undergraduate and
graduate scientific communication  engineering courses  scientific research communication  and
workforce training. Reviewing across the science education literature reveals various aspects
of unresolved challenges or inabilities in the visualization of scientific concepts.
Visuospatial thinking is the fundamental part of learning sciences  however  promoting spatial
thinking has not been emphasized enough in the educational system (Hegarty  2014). Cognitive
scientists distinguish between the multiple aspects of spatial ability and stresse that various
problems or disciplines require different types of spatial skills. For example  the spatial
ability to visualize anatomy cross-sections is significantly associated with mental rotation
skills. The same is true for physical problems that often deal with spatial representations.
However  most of the physics problems are marked by dynamicity  and visualizing dynamicity is
inferred by the integrations of different participating components in the system. Therefore 
what is needed for learning dynamicity is visualizing the mental animation of static episodes.
This book is a leap into designing framework for using mixed reality (XR) technologies and
cyberlearning in communicating advanced scientific concepts. The intention is to flesh out the
cognitive infrastructure and visuospatial demands of complex systems and compare them in
various contexts and disciplines. The practical implementation of emerging technology can be
achieved by foreseeing each XR technology's affordances and mapping those out to the cognitive
infrastructure and visuospatial demands of the content under development.
