Digital learning has become an inevitable trend with many benefits for students’ learning performance and motivation. However, Virtual Reality, a pervasive mode of digital learning nowadays, has incurred ambivalence among teachers over the years due to its high cost and other technical concerns. Panoramic image VR (PIVR) is a cost-efficient alternative to conventional VR in classroom settings, and is featured in this quasi-experimental research as a digital means to simulate language situations in future workplaces for a total of 106 vocational high school students majoring in auto mechanics. All student participants were divided into an experimental and a control group. The results showed that learning performance, motivation, and satisfaction were better in the experimental group than in the control group thanks to the use of PIVR. Furthermore, it was found that the learning performance of the experimental group students with medium prior knowledge was significantly better than that of the control group students of the same level of prior knowledge. However, no such difference was found for the remaining participants. It is thus inferred that PIVR-based digital learning might be more effective for students with medium prior knowledge than for those with either high or low prior knowledge.

数字学习已成为必然趋势，它对学生的学习表现和动机有很多好处。然而，由于虚拟现实技术的高成本和其他技术问题，虚拟现实技术是当今数字学习的一种普遍模式，多年来在教师中引起了歧义。全景图像VR（PIVR）在教室环境中是传统VR的一种经济高效的替代方案，在这项准实验研究中，它作为一种数字手段来模拟未来工作场所中总共106名职业高中学生的语言状况。汽车修理工。所有学生参加者分为实验组和对照组。结果表明，由于使用了PIVR，实验组的学习表现，动机和满意度比对照组要好。此外，结果发现，具有中等先验知识的实验组学生的学习表现明显优于具有相同先验知识水平的对照组学生的学习表现。但是，其余参与者没有发现这种差异。因此可以推断出，基于PIVR的数字学习对具有中等先验知识的学生可能比具有高先验知识或低先验知识的学生更有效。
