Abstract: The modern student exists in a highly technical and digitally driven educational world. Online delivery of courses and interactions, with the primary purpose of enhancing learning, and access to learning opportunities is becoming almost mainstream. Yet, despite the broad availability of online education courses and systems, the completion rates and levels of student satisfaction with online courses remains comparatively low. Studies have indicated that online students are seeking personal engagement to drive their learning. This project looked at the importance of having a human face at the heart of the online course materials to help develop a more personal level of engagement. The project, carried out between 2016 and 2018, involved a randomized control trial of 84 students, and compared two sets of course materials, for a common course topic, one with human face-based resources, and one without. The results clearly showed a significant increase in student engagement with the human face-based resources, but the learning outcomes, for those who completed, were not significantly different between the two groups.

Abstract: This chapter draws on the case study of aboriginal trackways at World Heritage-listed Willandra Lakes Region of New South Wales, Australia to explore how to re-create a unique, charismatic, and vulnerable heritage site by combining 3D technology and storytelling to assist with the virtual presentation of heritage. This chapter delves into the advantages and challenges of innovative 3D scanning methods available to accurately record fossilised Indigenous footprints, providing best practice guidelines on how to best deliver these outcomes in a form of engaging immersive visitor experience. Findings suggest that storytelling techniques improve intensity of virtual experience recreated using 3D scanning techniques through the process of narrative transportation, which elicits emotional arousal and improves emotional engagement with heritage. These findings contribute to the utilisation of 3D technologies and storytelling for AR/VR to create engaging immersive experiences for visitors.
