Both constructivist learning and situation-cognitive learning believe that learning outcomes are significantly affected by the context or learning environments. However, since 2019, the world has been ravaged by COVID-19. Under the threat of the virus, many offline activities, such as some practical or engineering courses, have been subjected to certain restrictions. Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging, promising, and rapidly developing technology that enables users to obtain a near-real immersion experience by combining technologies such as computer science, communication, vision, etc. In the context of COVID-19, the advantages of VR immersive experiences are highlighted. By constructing a virtual learning environment, VR technology can greatly compensate for the shortage of traditional teaching conditions and help learners to carry out cognitive learning better. However, currently, VR-enhanced cognitive learning is still in its infancy, along with numerous problems and limitations. Therefore, this paper first conducted an in-depth study of some related concepts, such as constructivist learning and situated cognition learning. Then it proposes a general VR-enhanced cognitive learning framework and designs the general steps for constructing learning situations with VR technology. Based on the proposed model and framework, it developed a campus knowledge-learning APP using VR tools. Through a case study, it verified the validity and performance of the model and strategies. Questionnaire survey and experimental results show that the new model achieves a good learning effect and improves the efficiency of learning by at least 20% compared to the traditional learning methods.

Addressing Artificial Intelligence (AI) faculty deficiencies in higher education, this paper develops the AI+ Dual-qualified Teacher Capability Ecology Model (AI-DTCEM) based on Capability Ecology Theory. The model is developed after a thorough analysis of the current state of new engineering talent cultivation in universities and the innovative practical abilities required in the AI+ environment. This paper proposes an implementation framework characterized by “three-dimensional collaboration, four-tier progression, and five-element drive.” Additionally, it uses the collaborative education project involving Hangzhou Normal University, Zhejiang University, and Hangzhou Ruishu Technology Co., Ltd. as a backdrop to introduce a deep collaborative education model, showcasing the theoretical and practical achievements of this project. Using NetLogo as the simulation platform, this paper designs a 96-month system dynamics experiment to compare and analyze the outcomes of four scenarios: the baseline experiment, the AI-enhanced experiment, the policy-driven experiment, and the comprehensive optimization experiment. This study reveals the following findings: (1) Policy-driven initiatives are crucial for the successful construction of dual-qualified teacher teams, with the policy-driven scenario achieving the highest overall skill level (9.332). (2) The application of AI technology significantly enhances teacher skill development, resulting in AI skill improvements ranging from 116.6% to 163.4%. (3) The comprehensive optimization scenario (utilizing a collaborative mechanism) achieves systemic advantages, realizing a 100% dual-qualified teacher ratio. However, this comes with diminishing marginal returns on investment. This research provides a theoretical foundation, quantitative analysis, and practical pathways for developing dual-qualified teacher teams in the AI+ era.

This paper proceeds from professional learning community for graduate students that promotes individual growth as well as team growth. The professional learning community is characterized of asymmetric study willingness, which means that study among community members is not necessarily bidirectional, but can also be unidirectional. But there is a research gap in the modeling of asymmetric study willingness. Development of general artificial intelligence provides some implications for the research of professional learning community, and this paper introduces a CAIDD (Continuous Action Iterated Double-layer Dilemma) model to simulate the asymmetric study willingness of community members. Within the professional learning community, crucial members can better facilitate the communication network and improve the group dynamics of the community. So we divide the communication network within the professional learning community into two layers and put forwards a double-layer communication network. Teacher leaders form the upper layer while graduate students form the second layer of the network. To improve the effectiveness, a guiding mechanism of LQR(linear quadratic regulator) is introduced to guide the upper layer of teachers. The Lyapunov function is designed to prove the effectiveness of the proposed model and the guiding mechanism. And this is complemented by an in-depth discussion.
