THE FOUR-DIMENSIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN IN E-LEARNING AND VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN AND HCI, HMI Instructional design draws from the HCI field of study, which domain is the analyses on the interfaces between people (users) and computers. E. L. C. Law, M.

LEARNING TRIANGLE Knud Illeris (2004)
4 DIMENSIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN APPROACH A new four-dimensional instructional design approach focuses on: cognition, emotions, interactions (social aspect), kinesthetics (psychomotor aspect).
Cognitive dimension Emotional dimension Social dimension Psychomotor dimension 1) Present the content in small portions concise pills of knowledge. 2) Avoid unnecessary words that do not bring valuable content. 3) Use bookmarks that contain short snippets of text, popups that display content. 4) Repeat the content with examples. 5) Give meaning to multimedia. 6) Grade the level of difficulty in the course. 1) Ensure visual attractiveness and intuitiveness of the course with a friendly interface 2) Analyse the visual aspect of the course based on user experience design, use intuitive and graphically refined templates 3) Encourage further learning via visual aids - maintain the interest in the content e.g. by providing illustrative examples. 1) Provide and support social communication. 2) Use the chat box, discussion forum (provides interactions between all course participants). 3) Establish the contact rules and by using friendly messages - ensuring a friendly atmosphere. 4) Provide course participant with technical support. 5) Ensure learning opportunities for an individual and a group. 1) Provide an adequate number of repetitions of an issue via the use technology, such as Kinect or smart accessories. 2) Construct a task in such a way as to differentiate activity in virtual space, e.g. drag and drop items, find words or objects, select words or objects, type words, grab the object in VR, move your position, run, etc.
2D E-LEARNING PLATFORMS Psychomotor aspect Emotional aspect Social aspect Cognitive aspect https://ilias.akademia.mil.pl/ilias.php?baseclass=ilsahspresentationgui&ref _id=10682
VIRTUAL WORLDS 3D PLATFORMS https://thejournal.com/articles/2017/08/01/creators-of-second-life-opensansar-social-vr-platform-to-the-public.aspx https://www.gry-online.pl/s013.asp?id=102882 Content in 3D objects cognition Moving, vivid graphics emotions Chat, IM, group conversation, voice conversation interactions Teleport, walk, fly - kinesthetics
VIRTUAL REALITY AND VR ACCESSORIES the psychomotor dimension is usually concentrated on practicing specific skills. It can be reflex exercises, shooting, or even physical exercises. In such an environment the content is usually taught through educational games of different genres. https://pg.edu.pl/-/otworzylismy-laboratorium-zanurzonej-wizualizacjiprzestrzennej
VERIFICATION OF THE APPROACH (2017/2018) Hypothesis: the application of 4D approach to ID process results in better didactic outcomes in comparision to the use of unspecified ID approach. Unspecified ID means that there were no clear guidelines concerning a process of learning activities design. Aim: verification of the hypothesis. Research methods: case study, experiment, expert interview. All research were conducted in small-sized samples, therefore it should be treated as preliminary.
CASE STUDY, 2D E-LEARNING COURSES Procedure: I analysed one module with ten e-learning courses (SCORM/AICC standard) created for eleven candidates for service in the international military structures (support division group). Blended training organized by War Studies University in February 2018. The analysis concerned their learning progress and time spent on the course. The data served as indicators of how learners interact with the content created with and without the 4D to ID.

EXPERIMENT - 3D VR COURSES There were created two scenarios for twenty minutes activities performed in 3D environment.they relied on introducing new issues concerning posttraumatic stress disorder (PSDT Experience). Two groups from the War Studies University postgraduate students (20 participants per group) took part in the experiment (spring semester, 2017). Group A used the course with where the approach to ID was unspecified, tasks were mostly focused on cognitive and psychomotor dimensions. Group B realised tasks built on a four-dimensional ID approach. In both groups learning progress and time spent on the course were measured.
Also, at the end of the course, students from both groups were asked to mark on the Likert scale their perceived engagement in the course (where 1 meant the lowest and 5 the highest engagement). Optionally, they could also add their own statements ID Time spent Learning progress Perceived engagement Unspecified ID 15 70% 60% Four dimensional approach to ID 20 100% 90% Results concerning learning progress and time spent on 3D platform courses. War Studies University, 2018.
EXPERT INTERVIEW - VIRTUAL REALITY AND VR ACCESSORIES http://www.wbn.akademia.mil.pl/aktualnosci-wbn/podrozstudyjna-do-laboratorium-3d-pg.html In the interview took part three experts in security and defence who participated in the study trip to the Immersive 3D Visualization Lab (I3DVL) at the Gdansk Technical University (in May 2018). Two scenarios were taken into consideration: shooting (simplified game scenario), where a psychomotor dimension prevailed (shooting activity). exploration of the Coal Market, of the historical sites in Gdańsk (four dimensional approach to ID), searching for specific places, explore history of a place, recognize specific objects.
After the immersion in the scenarios, the experts were asked to report their perceived engagement in the tasks in two scenarios (Likert scale). ID Unspecified 80% 4D approach 100% Perceived engagement Results concerning perceived engagement of interviewed experts. War Studies University, 2018.
ID Codes Comments Unspecified monotonous activity - 4 comments: lack of social dimension - 2 comments: Too much shooting (2 persons). Only one view, different 3D content should appear. A very basic activity. Realistic but no interaction with peers, it is fine but just for a while. Lack of interaction. 4D approach motivational activities - 2 comments: engrossing experience -1 comment: I would like to explore it a bit longer, I liked watching at all details and explore their names. I could relax and spend much of my time there. Codes and comments from experts on ID Virtual Reality and VR Accessories courses. War Studies University, 2018.
POSSIBLE APPLICATION OF THE 4D ID APPROACH This approach may also serve for a developed version of Instructional Design (ID), a Learning Experience Design (LX or LX Design), which is a synthesis of instructional design, educational pedagogy, neuroscience, social sciences, design thinking, and user experience (UE) or user interface (UX) design.
QUESTIONS Do you think that this 4D ID concept is useful? Is it worth of detailed research? Are there any other significant determinants which should be considered in ID process?
WHEREWE WOULD LIKE TO APPLY THE 4D ID CONCEPT? CBRN+E PROJECT VICTRI (VIRTUAL CHEMICAL TRAINING ISLAND)
CBRN + E TRAINING IN VIRTUAL REALITY Advantages: - the realism of training, - learning by mistakes - without consequences, - some scenarios are impossible to implement in the real world, - testing new tactical and technical scenarios without the need to purchase equipment, - reduction of training costs, - popularizing of CBRN issues. We assume that the 4D design of activities performed via VICTRI, will results in similar teaching outcomes to those obtained in the training in real conditions (scope of knowledge and skills on how to survive in CBRN environment). Without physical endurence. As introductory part of the real training (furnishing with basic skills). Soldiers can retain their skills with VICTRI. Extra training for weaker learners in a spot.
TWO PATHS OF THE TRAINING 3D island (the access to the Internet, large groups training + specialists) 3D CAVE (3D Lab, training for specialists) CBRN + E General tranining Specialists 3D island 3D CAVE
THE AIM OF THE PROJECT is to create a multifunctional virtual island in a 3D environment for effective training in the field of CBRN + E for soldiers and officers (from outside MOD). The essence of the project is to create a safe environment for exercises in situation of risk and exposure to threats. Due to the specificity and training needs in the field of CBRN + E, 2 solutions will be prepared: - 3D ISLAND - for the needs of CBRN general training, for a large number of users (each trained person is an avatar in the virtual world and can perform all activities - communicate, move, see, hear, carry out tasks), - 3D CAVE - for a small group of specialists (immersed in virtual reality, carry out tasks in accordance with a developed scenario). The project does not replace traditional training, but is a complementary element of this training, providing a holistic approach.
STAGES Stage I Stage II Stage III Construction of ViCTrI for CBRN training - for all soldiers + scenarios Construction of subsequent ViCTrI modules for training purposes: CBRN W&R System; laboratory technicians, analysts; SIBCRA; chemical rescuers; CBRN / EOD assemblies. Construction of the ViCTrI module enabling fast virtualization of the "crime scene", e.g. after a terrorist attack, to support the investigation process Note: the island is a representation of the CBRN Polygon CBRN + E CBRN + E, mathematical models supporting expertise
FUTURE IDEAS - 3D CAVE - FOR A SMALL GROUP OF SPECIALISTS The training will be implemented in 3D LAB with the use of prepared scenarios. Practitioners are immersed in virtual reality in a cubic 3D CAVE with an edge of 3.5 m. Due to limitations, the training will be implemented only for a small numer of specialists.
