Abstract
In the present study, the ADDIE model is adopted as the framework in designing and developing the training materials, and the Multimedia Principle is applied as the overarching design concept. Through virtual reality technology, a virtual station is constructed, with a 360-degree panoramic tour that offers an in-depth introduction of the key features to the users. Following the gaze direction, the users may navigate between different settings and scenes, and have a better understanding of the station regarding the floors and exact locations of the equipment rooms and equipment instructions for use. Methodologically, design-based research is conducted to explore the integration of virtual reality and instructional design under the context of educational training in the transportation sector. 14 station staff members are recruited—5 interviewees prior to the training materials development, 3 experts in materials evaluation, and 6 trial users of the teaching materials developed in this study. Additionally, with the iterative adaptation and improvement of the instructional design, this study aims to address the current issues of educational training arising due to space and time constraints.
