Effects of GAI-supported scenario inquiry-based learning in multiplayer VR on pre-service teachers’ instructional design skills

The research introduces a novel Generative AI (GAI)-supported scenario inquiry-based learning approach within multiplayer virtual reality (MVR), termed GAI-SIBLMVR. This method aims to enhance pre-service teachers' instructional design skills, particularly for creating innovative online courses in higher education. The approach addresses limitations of text-only GAI interaction by integrating it into a collaborative virtual environment, fostering critical analysis and innovative design across inquiry-based learning stages.

This development addresses a critical need for enhanced instructional design capabilities among future educators, particularly for evolving online learning environments. Leveraging GAI within collaborative virtual reality platforms represents a significant technological and pedagogical advancement that could redefine training methodologies for complex skill sets.

Instructional design skills are critical for pre-service teachers to develop effective online courses in higher education.
