Interest in the instructional application of virtual worlds, such as "Second Life" (SL), has grown substantially. However, little information is available about effective instructional activities using virtual worlds. This case study illustrates lessons learned from a pilot integrating SL into a two-semester English course at a large…

Mayrath, Michael C.; Traphagan, Tomoko; Jarmon, Leslie; Trivedi, Avani; Resta, Paul – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2010
Substantial evidence now supports pedagogical applications of virtual worlds; however, most research supporting virtual worlds for education has been conducted using researcher-developed Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVE). Second Life (SL) is a MUVE that has been adopted by a large number of academic institutions; however, little research has…

Dallas, T.; Berg, J. M.; Gale, R. O. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
This paper describes the goals, pedagogical system, and educational outcomes of a three-semester curriculum in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The sequence takes engineering students with no formal MEMS training and gives them the skills to participate in cutting-edge MEMS research and development. The evolution of the curriculum from…

Cook, Diane J.; Huber, Manfred; Yerraballi, Ramesh; Holder, Lawrence B. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2004
The goal of this project is to develop a unique simulation environment that can be used to increase students' interest and expertise in Computer Science curriculum. Hands-on experience with physical or simulated equipment is an essential ingredient for learning, but many approaches to training develop a separate piece of equipment or software for…

Boyd, Aimee M.; Jackson, Melinda L. – 2002
The EnterTech Project was a collaboration of over 80 coalition members (employers, educators, community-based organizations, government entities) whose purpose was to develop a training program to prepare unskilled workers for employment opportunities in Texas high-tech industries. Development of the EnterTech curriculum and instructional design…
