Science learning in virtual environments: a descriptive study
Usually, students learn more if the method of instruction matches their learning style. Since Physics and Chemistry deal with three-dimensional (3-D) objects, the ability to visualize and mentally manipulate shapes is very helpful in their learning. In fact, much of what Physics and Chemistry students know takes the form of images. However, little attention has been given to the pedagogical eff...
متن کاملConversations with a virtual science tutor in multimedia learning environments
During the past two years, a team of researchers, developers and teachers at Boulder Language Technologies has been collaborating with colleagues at the University of Colorado and the University of Pittsburgh to develop My Science Tutor (MyST), an intelligent tutoring system that is designed to improve science achievement of third, fourth and fifth grade students through conversational spoken d...
متن کاملA Study of Virtual Learning Environments
This paper analyzes several features of virtual learning environments. These tools are basic for new models of education because their basic idea is to reduce the number of hours face-to-face in the classroom and to promote remote individual work. This is the main purpose of the new European models given by the Bologna process. Four studies have been made. First of them, shows level of populari...
متن کاملThe (human) science of medical virtual learning environments.
The uptake of virtual simulation technologies in both military and civilian surgical contexts has been both slow and patchy. The failure of the virtual reality community in the 1990s and early 2000s to deliver affordable and accessible training systems stems not only from an obsessive quest to develop the 'ultimate' in so-called 'immersive' hardware solutions, from head-mounted displays to larg...
