abstract: >-
  Simulation-based learning is a method in which learners
  learn to master real-life scenarios and tasks from
  simulated application contexts. It is particularly
  suitable for the use of VR technologies, as these allow
  immersive experiences of the targeted scenarios. VR
  methods are also relevant for studies on online learning,
  especially in groups, as they provide access to a variety
  of multimodal learning and interaction data. However, VR
  leads to a trade-off between technological conditions of
  the observability of such data and the openness of learner
  behavior. We present Va.Si.Li-Lab, a VR-Lab for
  Simulation-based Learning developed to address this
  trade-off. Va.Si.Li-Lab uses a graph-theoretical model
  based on hypergraphs to represent the data diversity of
  multimodal learning and interaction. We develop this data
  model in relation to mono- and multimodal, intra- and
  interpersonal data and interleave it with ISO-Space to
  describe distributed multiple documents from the
  perspective of their interactive generation. The paper
  adds three use cases to motivate the broad applicability
  of Va.Si.Li-Lab and its data model.
