Braun, Sabine; Davitti, Elena; Slater, Catherine – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2020
We report on a study evaluating the educational opportunities that highly multimodal and interactive Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) provide for collaborative learning in the context of interpreter education. The study was prompted by previous research into the use of VLEs in interpreter education, which showed positive results but which…

Lowell, Victoria L.; Alshammari, Ali – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
Role-playing simulations can provide students with experiential learning opportunities to develop strong interviewing and diagnosis skills, and practice skills they are learning in their classes. In this study, students completed role-playing activities in an online 3D virtual counselor training facility, and interviewed "patient"…

The Implications of Virtual World Technology for K-12 Students in a Foreign Language Course of Study
Parrott, David L. – ProQuest LLC, 2014
The use of virtual world technology for language instruction is a recent development in education. The goal of this study was to provide a functioning 3D environment for German language students to experience as avatars. The student's impressions, attitudes, and perceptions of this learning activity would be recorded and analyzed to see if this…

Hack, Catherine Jane – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
Using the delivery of a large postgraduate distance learning module in bioethics to health professionals as an illustrative example, the type of learning activity that could be enhanced through delivery in an immersive virtual world (IVW) was explored. Several activities were repurposed from the "traditional" virtual learning environment…

Bravo, Javier; García-Magariño, Iván – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2015
Distance education started being limited in comparison to traditional education. Distance teachers and educational organizations have overcome most of these limits, but some other limits still remain as challenges. One of these challenges is to collaboratively learn concepts in an immersive way, similarly to the education "in situ".…

Beckmann, Elizabeth A.; Mahanty, Sango – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2016
This paper presents selected findings from a 5-year design-based research case study of the evolution of an online role play that allows postgraduate students to explore the complexities inherent in land rights negotiations between indigenous peoples and others. In the context of Laurillard's (2002) conversational framework and a design-based…

Hontvedt, Magnus; Arnseth, Hans Christian – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2013
Research on simulator training has rarely focused on the way simulated contexts are constructed collaboratively. This study sheds light on how structuring role-play and fostering social interactions may prove fruitful for designing simulator training. The article reports on a qualitative study of nautical students training in a ship simulator. The…

Cram, Andrew; Hedberg, John G.; Gosper, Maree; Dick, Geoff – Research in Learning Technology, 2011
Contemporary theories of problem-solving highlight that expertise is domain specific, contingent on the social context and available resources, and involves knowledge, skills, attitudes, emotions and values. Developing educational activities that incorporate all of these elements is a challenge. Through case studies, this paper outlines how…

Communication and Education in a Virtual World: Avatar-Mediated Teaching and Learning in Second Life
Mon, Lorri – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2010
Education within Second Life frequently recapitulates the "sage on the stage" as students sit their avatars down in chairs in the virtual world and listen to or read an instructor's lecture while watching a slideshow. This conceptual article explores alternative active learning techniques supporting independent and collaborative learning…

Understanding the Impact of Virtual World Environments on Social and Cognitive Processes in Learning
Zhang, Chi – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Researchers in information systems and technology-mediated learning have begun to examine how virtual world environments can be used in learning and how they enable learning processes and enhance learning outcomes. This research examined learning processes in a virtual world learning environment (VWLE). A research model of VWLE effects on learning…

McCorkle, Suzanne; Reese, Melanie J. – Communication Teacher, 2005
Creating a forum for conflict management students to conceptualize and implement collaborative negotiation techniques can be difficult to manage during classroom time. A computer-based simulation assigned in conjunction with in-class activities offers three distinct advantages for students who are beginning negotiators: (1) classroom time may be…
