Morales, Teresa M.; Bang, EunJin; Andre, Thomas – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
This paper presents a qualitative case analysis of a new and unique, high school, student-directed, project-based learning (PBL), virtual reality (VR) class. In order to create projects, students learned, on an independent basis, how to program an industrial-level VR machine. A constraint was that students were required to produce at least one…
