Virtual Worlds Multi-user virtual worlds – MUVEs Virtual presence – or avatar e.g. OpenSim, ActiveWorlds, Croquet, Second Life ‘...have 3D isometric/third-person graphics, are accessed over the Internet, allow for some dozens of simultaneous users to interact, and represent a persistent virtual world.’ (wikipedia, 2008)

Second Life Created by Linden Labs Built and ‘owned’ by residents Free to access Quick and easy to learn Users can chat or use voice tools Strong active educator community Supports and integrates with other technologies

Why use SL in education? Immersive and engaging 3D space Contextual Communication Collaboration Learning artefacts Safe environment

Examples of Education in SL Dissemination

SL Medical Library e.g. Remember Me Alzheimer’s Exhibit on InfoIsland

Examples of Education in SL Dissemination Models or displays

Genome Island Texas Wesleyan University

Examples of Education in SL Dissemination Models or displays Role play

SecondHealth

UC Davis’ Virtual Hallucinations

PREVIEW Project Problem-based Learning in Virtual Interactive Educational Worlds

Background Problem-based learning courses Students in work placement o At a distance; o Time poor; o Loses collaborative element. Investigate new ways to deliver PBL

Virtual Patients

From Virtual Patients to Virtual Worlds  Context  Realism  Immersive environment  Collaboration  Student led

Aims Deliver PBL in Second Life; Develop eight interactive PBL scenarios; User-guided development and evaluation; Develop guidelines and best-practice on delivering PBL in virtual worlds.

Scenario Building

Evaluation Key questions: o Does this environment engage? o Do the learners have an identity? o Promote collaboration? o What are the tutors experiences? o What are the ‘costs’ of using SL for this method of teaching?

Questions?
