Analysis of Behavioral Patterns for Social Virtual Reality Based Active Learning

The purpose of this study is to implement a virtual reality (VR) classroom by exchanging certain social signals which can be observed during an active learning (AL) setting. It is not clear how to do AL effectively in a VR classroom because it is difficult to exchange social signals on avatars. This paper describes a pilot experiment and suggested that social signals such as facing behavior, body tilted forward and backward, and hand movement on memo are important to convey the intention to the other participants. The outcomes are expected to be used to realize the social VR based AL.
