The Shifting Landscape: Virtual Worlds in Education

Editor's Notes

  1. Good morning. Thank-you, Carol. Wow! This is really quite exciting. I’d like to congratulate Carol and the Center for Innovative Education here at Kean University. Today’s program looks really quite amazing!
  2. The theme for today, of course, is virtual worlds, real learning.
  3. Virtual environments have been around for a while, I’ll get back to that in a second. But in January of 2007 I discovered Second Life and in January, the CHSS became the first educational institution in NJ to have a publicly available presence in Second Life. Others now - including Kean, Princeton, Rutgers, Seton Hall, and others.
  4. But before we talk about that, a little history. Sorry, the jokes don’t get much better than this.
  5. In 1990 the first MOO was released, a text-based virtual environment used, with the firs MUD, or Multi-User Dungeon, right behind it. Clearly there was a role-playing games slant to this, but it was also used in education, specifically distance education.
  6. This is a fairly typical example of what you might
  7. What was it about these environments that attracted people – LOTS of people? It was the level of engagement. The Holy Grail of learning, right? Isn’t that what we talk about – how to engage our students?
  8. At the heart of 21 st century learning is…learning. What makes learning different now than 10 years ago? Or 100 years ago?
  9. The climate in which we are working, our client – and when you think about it, they are clients in the respect that clients are those for whom we perform a service, and the classroom, the focal point of where the learning takes place during class. All three of these terms can be very broadly interpreted.
  10. Constructivist approach – guide on the side, as opposed to sage on the stage, or Friere’s banking model.
  11. Using technology for technology sake is never good. Pedagogy over tools, every time. In today’s climate, its easy to want to use a tool, like a virtual environment, because its cool or interesting. The reason to use it is because the results from using it make sense based on the learning objective.
  12. 30-35 - 25 million 25-30 - Negligible 20-25 - 36 million 15-20 - 97 million 13-15 146 million 10-13 - 24 million 8-10 - 81 million 5-8 4 million
  13. Educators migrated, from MOOs and MUDs to Active Worlds to Second Life, and they will migrate again.
  14. Wikitude, Layar
  15. Tools have restrictions – movements allow for a variety, and changing set of tools.
  16. Not just colleagues and administrators, but parents
  17. The theme for today, of course, is virtual worlds, real learning.
