Simulated environments for learning are disconnected from the real-world
Learning experience Simulation design
Wants
- Effectiveness
- Engagement
- Motivation
- Meta-cognition
Needs
- Authenticity
- Diversity
-Timeliness

The ImREAL Approach
User generated content can provide a source for simulator enrichment
Learning experience Simulation designSimulated
Environment
for Learning
- Exploits ontologies and linked data
- Focuses on interpersonal communication and cultural diversity
- Intelligent services for content aggregation, user and context
modelling, and meta-cognitive scaffolding

Key Innovation of ImREAL
Holistic framework for adult self-regulated learning
=> underpinning meta-cognitive scaffolding service
Presenting @ i-KNOW – see demos
Semantic approach for modelling activity context and users
=> using digital traces in social spaces
Validation in augmenting simulators for learning
=> interpersonal communication and cultural awareness

I-CAW (Intelligent
Content Assembly Workbench)
Also provides
semantic services
to annotate content
and query/retrieve
content for external
software (such as a
simulator)

ViewS microscope –
for viewpoint analysis
Can click on the
nodes to see which
concepts were
mentioned by which
category of
users, and the
associated
comments made.
