  1. Virtual Labs ‘Alim John Beveridge Yunn Chyi Chao Stephanie Gerson Keri Morgret

  2. Learning Problems • Difficulty conceptualizing dynamic processes of human body. • Failure to formulate overall, systemic perspective (“big picture”). • Absence of laboratory activities in physiology course

  3. Design Decisions • IMPORTANT: no formal conceptual framework underlying product’s design. • Based on pragmatic experience of project leaders (15 years of teaching).

  4. Design Decisions • Process of design very evolutionary. • Originally designed to only simulate laboratory experiments. Hence the name.

  5. Design Rationales • Didactic content: based on lecture & textbooks. • Focus on concepts identified as difficult by focus group. • Interface: Professor Heller’s needs.

  6. Design Rationales • Animation: unique capacity of animation to model dynamic processes. “Wow-factor” • Games: apparent popularity and excitement of computer games • Quizzes: self-assessment

  7. Theories Kozma: Media • Users can set their own pace and take the path they choose. • Pictures: encode more information than text. More memorable

  8. Theories Kozma: Media • Animation • Helps build dynamic mental models of phenomenon. • Interaction • Allows users to learn about cause and effect.

  9. Theories Mallone: Motivation • Interface: Control • Animation: Sensory Curiosity • “Water Balance” Game: All four

  10. Strengths • Good use of graphics, animations and simulations. • Allows user-manipulation, making choices and controlling. • Other support. E.g. notepad – also serves as a bookmark to the content.

  11. Weaknesses • Design principles • Content is fragmented • Lack of supporting and meaningful activities to the simulations/animations. • Content and structure • To be used as a supplement or stand-alone product? • User interface • Screen is too crowded and noisy • Unclear instruction of the activities.

  12. Recommendations for Usage • Context • Teacher as facilitator • Alternate textual support • Auxiliary class activities

  13. Teacher training Student training Support Mechanisms

  14. Questions • How does VL fit in with the course? • Why is VL content valuable? • Specifically, how do components of VL correlate with course lessons and book chapters?

  15. Student-student interaction Sensory interactivity Note printing Search engine Difficulty levels Progression Helper function Zoom function Live visuals Menu bar User manual for teachers, students Improvements

  16. Novel Suggestions • Closure / culmination • Character • Metacognitive development • Possible use of agents • User control of media
