Vosinakis, Spyros; Anastassakis, George; Koutsabasis, Panayiotis – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2018
Logic Programming (LP) follows the declarative programming paradigm, which novice students often find hard to grasp. The limited availability of visual teaching aids for LP can lead to low motivation for learning. In this paper, we present a platform for teaching and learning Prolog in Virtual Worlds, which enables the visual interpretation and…

Marshman, Margaret; Woolcott, Geoff; Dole, Shelley – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2017
The use of multiuser virtual environments for educational purposes is in its infancy but offers potential for exploration of spatial contexts that could not otherwise be experienced. We report on pre-service teachers' experiences in designing learning activities as a result of immersion in the CAVE2™, a 320-degree, cylindrical 3D virtual…

The Pedagogical Application of Alternate Reality Games: Using Game-Based Learning to Revisit History
Lynch, Ronan; Mallon, Bride; Connolly, Cornelia – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2015
The advent of the Internet has been instrumental in producing new Game Based Learning (GBL) tools where education and games converge. Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) are one such GBL tool. Interactive narrative games that use the Internet as a central communications platform, ARGs challenge players to collaboratively collate a fragmented story.…
