Jeremy Stoddard; Jais Brohinsky; Derek Behnke; David Shaffer; Codu Marquart; M. Shane Tutweiler; Jason Chen – Grantee Submission, 2022
In this paper, we describe the design for PurpleState, an internship simulation that applies the epistemic game model for informed civic learning. PurpleState places students in the role of interns at a political media firm and asks them to design a media campaign on a state level policy issue. Unlike the use of these models in STEM education,…

Jen, Tessaly; Morales, Christina; Greenwald, Eric; Montgomery, Ryan; Loper, Suzanna; Barber, Jacqueline – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
The United States' Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) elevate engineering design to the same stature as scientific inquiry, calling on science teachers to engage students in engineering practices to solve real-world problems. In response, researchers and curriculum developers designed and studied Virtual Engineering Internships (VEIs) to…

Oner, Diler – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
This study examines the use of a virtual internship (an epistemic game) for developing preservice teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). TPACK aims to capture the essential qualities of teacher knowledge that are needed for integrating technology into teaching. Virtual internships are computer-based professional practicum…

Megan E. Lynch; Frances Nebus Bose; May Lee – Pennsylvania Teacher Educator, 2022
This article demonstrates how the digital technologies of video recordings and webcams in a virtual learning after school program made it possible for teacher candidates to practice and reflect on asset-based pedagogies for multilingual students. Implications to engage teacher candidates in asset-based pedagogies in virtual science and engineering…

Gautam, Dipesh; Swiecki, Zachari; Shaffer, David W.; Graesser, Arthur C.; Rus, Vasile – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
Virtual internships are online simulations of professional practice where students play the role of interns at a fictional company. During virtual internships, participants complete activities and then submit write-ups in the form of short answers, digital notebook entries. Prior work used classifiers trained on participant data to automatically…

Barany, Amanda; Shah, Mamta; Cellitti, Jessica; Duka, Migela; Swiecki, Zachari; Evenstone, Amanda; Kinley, Hannah; Quigley, Peter; Shaffer, David Williamson; Foster, Aroutis – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2017
Few digital tools are designed to support identity exploration around careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) that may help close existing representation gaps in STEM fields. The aim of this project is to inform the design of games that facilitate learning as identity change as defined by the Projective Reflection…
