Abstract—Online flipped Class can be optimized by
introducing VR technology. By adding VR technology to the
online flipped class, the performance of class and students'
learning efficiency could be affected. Therefore, we investigate
the effects of incorporating VR technology in online flipped
classes. In this study, we contend that the effects of VR on online
flipped class can be theoretically modelled as users’ attitudes
about VR features that influence their psychological distance,
which in turn shapes their attitudes and behaviors towards
using the learning platform. Finally, we postulate a lab
experiment to measure whether the VR technology in flipped
class can increase students’ engagement.
Index Terms—Flipped class, virtual reality, learning
efficiency.
