The effect of micro‐level and macro‐level signalling on learning with 360° videos

open access: yesApplied Cognitive Psychology, Volume 38, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract 360° videos raised the attention of educators, as they can mediate complex environments in educational settings. However, learning irrelevant cognitive strains might be imposed because it is necessary to navigate through spherical material. These downsides could be compensated by using signalling techniques. In a two (macro‐level vs.
