Virtual Reality (VR) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two innovative technologies with the potential to transform educational practices. VR can create immersive learning environments, enabling students to experience different cultures and historical periods firsthand. AI can personalize learning experiences by providing students with tailored content and feedback. This bachelor thesis explores the potential of combining VR and generative AI to enhance the teaching and preservation of Scottish cultural heritage. Central to this study is the development of a prototype VR experience Scottish Curling VR, which focused on Scottish Bonspiel, an outdoor curling tournament held on a frozen lake. The thesis was showcased at the Festival der Zukunft, where participants were observed and asked to complete a survey. These observations resulted in improvements to the prototype and valuable insights into the public perception of VR and AI in educational settings. This research suggests combining VR and generative AI can create immersive and personalized learning environments. It also reveals a positive public perception toward employing these technologies in educational frameworks. Nevertheless, certain limitations persist. Notably, generative AI models occasionally introduce inaccuracies or misinformation, demanding either expert supervision or a discerning user. Despite these limitations, the research presented in the thesis suggests that VR and AI can potentially improve educational learning experiences. Future research should focus on the quantifiable improvements in learning outcomes achieved through combining VR and generative AI in educational settings.

Gamification” is the use of game design elements in non-game contexts.

This bachelor thesis focuses on the effects of gamification on motivation and engagement in digital learning. A three-phase user study is included. The study will recruit 40 participants divided into two groups: one using a gamified platform (Datacamp) to learn Python, and the other using a non-gamified medium.
