Jacobson, Michael J.; Taylor, Charlotte E.; Richards, Deborah – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
In this paper, we propose computational scientific inquiry (CSI) as an innovative model for learning important scientific knowledge and new practices for "doing" science. This approach involves the use of a "game-like" virtual world for students to experience virtual biological fieldwork in conjunction with using an agent-based…
