Vwbpe collaboration on virtual harmony to moses

Collaboration on Virtual Harmony: STEM Research on theMars Geothermal, Nonlinear Game Design on Atlantis and Unity3D, and the Migration to MOSES Andrew G. Stricker, Ph.D., The Air University Cynthia A. Calongne, D.CS., Colorado Technical University Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education, March 16, 2012

From Collaboration to MOSES• Virtual Harmony • Custom virtual world using OpenSim & open source tools • Features Harmony - historical• STEM Research and the Mars • IRB-approved research for a Geothermal model-based reasoning in a somatic computing study• Nonlinear Game Design on • Digital literacy learning game in Atlantis and Unity3D Unity3D , Harmony and iPhone• Migration to MOSES • OAR files loaded on MOSES; class meetings in both environs

Virtual World Integration• Virtual Harmony – custom • Creative designs by Andy designs, open source tools Stricker, modeling harmonious historical settings for research• STEM and Digital Literacy from • Collaborative STEM and digital Virtual Harmony to Unity3D literacy research w/ Auburn, and the iPhone Columbia, AU and CTU• Second Life Classes • SL Simulations and reflection• MOSES • Portability, test & class activity• NSF grant and Inworldz • Lane Community College’s learning simulations & testing

…why STEM in 3D worlds?

Key architectural features supporting STEM in 3D ...- Blended Learning Strategies- Flow- Cloud, Mobile, 3D Worlds, and Locomotion Computing

Blended Learning Components...

Just-in-Time Teaching flow...- Advance organizer- Pre-knowledge check- Interactive activity- Post-knowledge check- Instructor analysis- Interactive discussion- Follow-up activity
