Abstract:
This paper presents an application of the novel Mixed Reality (MR) technology in cultivation of human resources for the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferencing, and exhibitions) industry. Based on the inquiry-based learning approach, we designed MR teaching materials about “exhibition planning” for training MICE professionals and developed an “MR-based Exhibition Planning Teaching System”. The effectiveness of the proposed MR teaching system was assessed using the quasi-experimental method. The participants in the experiment were recruited from first-year students of Department of Hotel and MICE Management in Overseas Chinese University and divided into the experimental group and the control group. The two groups were respectively given instructions with MR teaching materials and instructions with traditional teaching materials. The learning outcomes of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results indicated that the experimental group achieved significantly higher learning efficiency and learning retention than the control group, and the satisfaction survey also found that the MR teaching materials effectively increased the learning interest, willingness to learn, and impression of course lessons in students.
