Jace Hargis Goksel Second Life Virtual World

  • 1. Assessment in Second Life Jace Hargis, PhD University of the Pacific, USA . Nil Goksel Canbek, MA Anadolu University, Turkey
  • 2. Agenda • What is SL • Literature • Major Players • Main Objective is to explore assessment instruments & analyze interactions by focusing on specific examples • Examples • Top Education Sites in SL • Advantages of SL
  • 3. Second Life • Avatar-based virtual community [avatara is Sanskrit, symbolizes the conception of a human (Snow Crash, 1992)] • 3-D representation of a person using SL • Expressive of real identity & self-conception (Wolfendale, 2007) • Millions of avatars on different islands
  • 4. Brief Review of Literature • Informal Learning - museums, zoos, aquaria, Internet; internal motivation, variable content, un-sequenced, attendance voluntary, objects, all ages & diversity • Information Processing - code, STM-LTM, retrieved • Constructivism -autonomy, inquiry, dialogue, divergent, higher level questions; reflection, abstraction and an integrated thought process • Self-Regulated Learn-self-observation; judgment; response • Formative Assessment - redirect concepts; part of instruction; needed to adjust teaching & learning; (rubrics) (think/pair/share, one minute paper, SRS, concept map)
  • 6. Linden Labs Founded in 1999 by Philip Rosedale to create a new form of shared experience known as Second Life®. The Grid™ provides the platform where the world resides and offers tools for educators to develop a virtual presence. Headquartered in San Francisco, Linden Lab has over 330 employees across the world.
  • 8. SL for Educators (SLED) https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators • Linden Lab's Learning Inworld Blog • Second Life Researchers List • Virtual Worlds Ed Roundtable every Tuesday • Educators Archives • Calendar of Educational Events
  • 9. SL for Educator Calendar of Events
  • 11. International Society for Tech in Ed • “advances excellence in T&L through innovative and effective uses of technology; • Improving T&L learning by advancing the effective use of tech.”
  • 12. Open University • Initiative for open learning apps in SL; • Contributing to quality, accredited education in South Africa; • Launched in 1997 for educating teachers; • Expanded into a business; • Model of customer service and support; • Over 60,000 learners in 15 years.
  • 13. Ivory Tower of Prims • Modules explaining how to build • Easy to understand • Useful note cards
  • 14. Main Objective • Explore current assessment instruments within the scope of learner-course owner interactions and analyze cyber interactions by focusing on specific samples on SL • Non-existent, although need is apparent. • Currently, only a handful of methods to help students assess progress in higher ed islands
  • 15. Higher Ed Assessment Ex "Assessment" in SL produced 39 results in July 2010. By Sep, number was only 41. • Transforming Assess, U of Adelaide • The Assessment Group • EDTC 6325, grad students, U of Texas • EDUCAUSE Virtual Worlds Group • Central Higher Educator Cooperative • Global Learning Forum • Teaching and Learning Online
  • 16. Central Higher Ed Cooperative • Experimental arena for assess of SL apps • Think tank of experiments and risk-taking, which foster other risk and ultimately lead to open source material
  • 17. Ensemble Pavilion: Ed Co-op • Actively teach & research in SL, articles from a variety of disciplines & approaches. • May assist skeptics of SL & other non- traditional venues for learning.
  • 18. Other Examples • Use-ability Lab • Science School • Genome Island • American Chemical Society • Classic Greece • Globe Theatre • World Language • Sistine Chapel
  • 19. U of Central FL Useability Lab • Students virtually walk up, respond to questions -provides responses, assistance and further questions
  • 20. Science School • Formative Assessment • Large Molecules • Manipulate objects
  • 21. Genome Island • Mendelian inheritance • Gene pool • Prokaryotic/eukaryotic genome • College biology • Hundreds of interactive objects • Forty experiments generate analyzable data
  • 24. Globe Theatre • Be an actor in the time of Shakespeare • Theatre scene changes are instantaneous • Rehearsals, playbills, tickets…
  • 25. World Languages • Authentic learning of world language with native speakers • U of the Pacific has created a maze, where students respond to questions in Chinese to open doors.
  • 27. Summary • 3-D multicultural source providing cyber interactions • Virtual close connection, digital groups construct own meaning • Effective interaction for virtual/communal collaborative learning • Informal learning & user engagement • Andragogical & communicational design for positive interaction • Literature & resources on assessment tools in-world • Highly interactive, constructive learning environment, allows engagement, reflection & self-regulation • Empowers creation of dynamic environments
  • 28. Advantages of SL • Offers universal, global access • Ideal for distance learning • Create scenarios not possible in real world • Very Green • More than just delivering learning • Creates a base for high quality education • Applicable to a wide range of education
