Presentation Transcript

  1. “It’s a lot more realistic than you’d imagine” “Its really clean and very expensive looking” “Cool! Really realistic and representative of a real lab in the university!” “It looked very realistic; I didn’t think it would be quite that realistic, to be honest” • “It was just like playing a video game, like the SIMs or something … I do feel comfortable in it [VW]”

  2. “There were a lot of things, like distilled water taps, that I’d never heard of before” “And safety rules I think, that she ran over, which we do normally go over in labs, but I felt like I was learning it more.” “When I first started labs in September I was really scared of going into the labs cause we did no [lab] work in biology in A-level ... and if we had of had this induction it would have really helped”

  3. “If possible, next time we could do an actually experiment?” “I was hoping to use some of the equipment I had never actually used before but all we did was look at most of them” “There was, you know, inappropriate sort of content when I went to the welcome area when I tried it at home. But in the contained area it was really good.”

  4. Building in Virtual Worlds • Use the VW for its strengths (virtual location, remote collaboration; meta-data) • Be clear on learning aims • Add detail according to need

  5. Virtual World Training • Most students had basic self-taught VW skills • Flying and clothes were difficult • Only teach critical skills

  6. The virtual laboratory • Effective as a laboratory experience • Effective for learning and revising lab skills • Especially useful if no lab experience

  7. Using Virtual Worlds • Interaction between socialisation in the real and virtual worlds • Addresses real lab availability; new limit is student availability
