Virtual reality is rapidly becoming an effective tool for training in construction. Hazardous environments can be simulated and used for training purposes without endangering students. Furthermore, these virtual environments can be saved and re-used, on-demand, allowing students to observe temporal changes to an environment that would normally require multiple visits to a real project site to achieve. While the virtual construction site visit should not be considered a replacement for the real thing, some site visits get passed over because they are costly and logistically difficult to coordinate. Having options would be desirable. Virtual reality construction site visits using 360° photographs are a novel approach toward substituting for the real thing – yet they can be ineffective. Therefore, considering this media as a replacement for the real experience is not advisable – without some additional upgrades. This research documents a between-groups experiment that compared student’s self-reported learning performance when using 360° photographs that were annotated versus 360° photographs that were not annotated. The annotations included pop-ups, visual cues, audio clips, video clips, and quizzes to direct the learning when viewing the 360° photographs. Results indicated increased performance with the students that used the annotated 360° photographs. This study anticipated a difference in performance between the two groups and therefore used eye tracking technology with the students that used the non-annotated 360° photographs to obtain a better understanding of why their achievement differed.
