Virtual and augmented
reality (VR & AR) games can provide innovative methods for teaching and
learning important skills relating to fire safety. However, in an emergency
context, testing the acquired knowledge and skills, i.e. verifying the learning,
can be challenging. In this paper, we ask how the interplay between AR and VR could
support learning verification. We describe two standalone games of both types, which
interchangeably teach fire safety skills to children and verify their learning
results. In particular, we describe the planned learning paths and research study
designs for verification studies within and between these games to answer the
above question. By operationalizing the two cases, the paper ends in proposing
more generalized study design for AR and VR research in a fire safety context.
