Abstract This paper is designed to quantitatively measure the level of aptitude and availability of the students from the “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy in Sibiu for the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies as teaching tools in the process of education and instruction. The paper is a first stage of a broader research topic, the results of which will be addressed to both teachers and researchers, as well as students and other categories of trainees. The introductory part of the paper analyses the importance of VR and AR technologies as learning environments for the military education system in particular and the advantages of using them for the cadets’ combat training. Also, the main characteristics of the three types of reality, environmental, virtual and augmented, are highlighted, which allow a better understanding of the structure and operation of AR and VR. The research methodology was then developed, establishing a survey by applying a questionnaire on a sample of 300 students from the academy and then processing and interpreting the results obtained. The conclusions of the paper show the general predisposition of students to understand and use the two technologies both as tools of learning in didactic teaching and as instruments of improving the skills of fighters in modelling and simulating military actions.

This chapter focuses on virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) as tools for teaching and learning. Attainment of skills and knowledge can be supported through the use of VR/AR applications that are being developed both in the commercial sector and at various research institutions. An overview of what differentiates VR and AR is provided to the reader along with considerations of how such applications might be used to support learning environments in the future. If instructional designers and programmers can synchronize their efforts it may be possible to make VA/AR a common feature across learning environments nationally. Common elements of a VR/AR system are discussed here as well as the need to incorporate instructional design practices into the design of learning applications that use VR/AR.

Vojaško izobraževanje je v Slovenski vojski organizirano znotraj Centra vojaških šol in ima že tridesetletno tradicijo. Zaradi hitrih sprememb na področju vojaštva in težnje po enakopravnem vključevanju v evropski in okvir Nata se tudi slovenski sistem vojaškega šolstva srečuje z izzivi, povezanimi z zagotavljanjem visoke kakovosti. Prizadevanja na tem področju so usmerjena predvsem v vključevanje v javni izobraževalni sistem. V zadnjem času nam je uspelo vzpostaviti Višjo vojaško strokovno šolo in akreditirati višješolski študijski program Vojaški menedžment. Posodobitev sistema izobraževanja častnikov ostaja izziv tudi zaradi omejitev trenutne nacionalne zakonodaje. Ključne besede Vojaško izobraževanje in usposabljanje, višješolsko strokovno izobraževanje, visokošolsko izobraževanje Abstract Military education in the Slovenian Armed Forces is provided by the Military Schools Centre and has a thirty-year tradition. Due to rapid changes in the military, and the desire for equal integration into the EU and NATO framework, the Slovenian military education system has been facing high quality-assurance challenges. The efforts in this area are mainly focus on the integration of military education into the public education system. Recently, we have managed to establish the Higher Military Vocational School (NCO College) and accredit the higher vocational study programme Military Management. Due to the limitations dictated by the current national legislation, the modernization of the officer education system also remains a challenge. Key words Military education and training, post-secondary vocational education, higher education

Some individuals with disabilities are unable to work independently and often require additional instruction to complete basic tasks. To prepare students with disabilities for life after school, practitioners need to help them learn the skills necessary to live a happy, productive, and fulfilling life. Two technologies showing promise for such learning are augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. This chapter will discuss how AR and VR can successfully be used to teach academic, social, and vocational skills to students with disabilities, including research that has been conducted to date. Additionally, guidance is provided for teachers seeking to use AR and VR in classroom and community learning environments. The chapter will conclude with directions for further research and future applications of AR and VR with students with disabilities.
