Re-envisioning Web Learning and Communication Experience With WebXR

Abstract

As the digital era progresses, various information and communication technologies are adopted to enhance the language learning process and to facilitate effective communication. Over the past decades, learners have been exposed to a whole new world of knowledge learning, diffusion, and communication with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology. Web-extended reality (webXR) is being used as a solution to bridge the real world and the virtual world in the realm of newly-designed, web-based learning and communication activities. The ability to adopt these kinds of technologies to diffuse disciplinary knowledge is necessary for our new generations. Aiming at re-envisioning the immersive web learning and communication experience with webXR, we initiated a project in 2022, with the intent to establish a webXR-based Virtual Chinese Language Learning Centre (VCLLC) to provide a well-structured virtual learning environment for students to deploy both the Chinese language communication skills and webXR technology ability to effectively write, display and diffuse their disciplinary knowledge in Chinese, in a manner which is best suited for modern communication. In this paper, we will discuss and share some experiences in establishing a transdisciplinary assignment mechanism that helps students learn and use Chinese language with the latest ICT technology to diffuse and communicate at new heights by promoting hands-on practices, which can help our students imagine, create, and deliver innovative XR experiences in the context of disciplinary Chinese learning.
