A Study of the Effects of First Person versus Third Person View in Educational Animation
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on e-Learning - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
The paper reports a study that investigated the effect of egocentric versus exocentric view in an educational animation whose goal was to teach undergraduate students the various tasks that a construction manager performs in the field. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the effect of perspective view on students’ subject learning and preference. Findings show that while students have a preference on perspective view, the perspective view does not have a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes.
