- Virtual Reality (VR) and serious games (SGs) have been proved as effective tools in enhancing cognitive abilities and increase positive affect of learning. The significance of this paper lies on coupling VR with game-based learning and presenting the results of a comparative empirical study involving a large number of users, which evaluates the difference in learning British Sign Language using SGs versus conventional video. The paper makes important contributions to the fields of applied computing in education by demonstrating the use of a pedagogical framework to support adult learning coupling VR and SGs.
