-dimensional virtual world created by its participants (commonlyreferred to as residents) and since it’s unveiling in 2003, scores of educators from over 130colleges and universities have begun to evaluate SL as an educational platform. 1The growth of SL in the education arena has been wide-spread and global. However, beforeacademia can evaluate this relatively new environment, virtual spaces need to be planned,designed and developed that allow for academic discussion and identification of newpedagogical uses for this communication media. As with any new delivery mechanism eachmust undergo a process of building, evaluation, and assessment with virtual environments beingno exception.Although the value of SL as an academic tool is still in its early

The proposal was viewed by instructors for Capstone and feedback was provided to the team; necessary corrections were recommended;Stage4 (two weeks): Student teams first developed their own critique criteria from a gamification perspective since the usability test or learning effect test needed

This course generallycovers robotics fundamentals including history, robot types, and degrees of freedom, robotkinematics including the transformation matrix, forward and inverse kinematics, and the D-Hparameters, differential motions, robot dynamics, trajectory planning, actuators and sensors, androbot vision. The tool displays a virtual robotic arm and a panel of controls, see Figure 11 above.The virtual arm is entered into the tool by specifying the arm’s D-H

smartphone nearby. It means that we can approximately measure the distance between the smartphones by observing their RSS values. Of course the RSS fluctuation can occur in this case as well, but the distance between the smartphones carried by the same student is very short. Hence the RSS values tend to be stable and high. Fig. 14 depicts the RSS values between two smartphones located less than 1m distance. The RSS values are quite higher than those of the previous measurements, and thus the attendance cheating can be detected. We plan to substantiate this idea as future work. Figure 15.

In this set of questions theagreement of the students was higher than 60% and lower than 70% for year one and between 80%and 82.6% for year two. Here we can see that the 3D technology project had a high impact in theareas of time management, engineering career awareness and planning, research methods andtechniques, critical thinking concepts, and unit systems and conversions.

Overall, 74% of instructors reported they were satisfied with the project, and they especially appreciated the real-time dashboards that tracked student progress. There was a divide, however, between those teaching developmental (remedial) courses and general education gateway courses. While 67% of the developmental course instructors planned to use the adaptive courseware in the future, only 49% of the gateway course instructors did. A major

The idea is that socio-cognitive conflict, i.e., disagree-ments with other learners’ conception of the same problem or topic and interaction with peers toresolve the disagreements is fundamental to the learner’s grasp of new

Defining the boundaries and sub-fields of computer scienceand engineering would further address students’ epistemological qualifications and concerns.As they experience dimensions of these fields it is important for the students to be made aware of how they arereacting to these experiences, such as through reflection. Given that enjoyment and interest were the mostfrequently cited identity consideration, it would be tempting to design the course to maximize these pleasurableoutcomes. However it is easy to see how this could devolve into a curriculum that does not validly represent thefields. Rather, designers should plan experiences that are authentic windows into each field

Department of Education’s Office of Planning,Evaluation, and Policy Development4 concluded that: “classes with online learning (whethertaught completely online or blended) on average produce stronger student learning outcomesthan do classes with solely face-to-face instruction.” This is confirmed by the findings of asurvey of academic leaders that found that over two thirds believe online courses are “just asgood as” or better than traditional courses1. Furthermore online instruction offers manyadvantages over traditional classroom instruction in terms of cost, convenience, accessibility, andlack of variability in the instruction received by the students. For these reasons, it is expected thatonline instruction will continue to gain ground not only

However, interlaced video standards such as NTSC became so widespread, and compatibleequipment became so readily available and inexpensive, that such standards are often used even if the signalis never intended for broadcast. Interestingly, digital video cameras (such as those using CCD or CMOSfocal plan array sensors) do not capture an image as a raster scan (neither progressive nor interlaced), butfor compatibility reasons often covert the image to a signal format such as NTSC.

Instead, theinstructor finds himself metaphorically “negotiating a swiftly flowing river” in class.15 Thisrequires agile teaching and the flexibility to deal with the unexpected, which is perhaps outsidesome instructors’ comfort zones, particularly for novices or those not confident of the subjectmatter.3 Additionally, it encourages the instructor to give thought beforehand to possible studentmisconceptions and alternative routes for constructing correct understandings, so that on-the-flyadjustments may be more effective.

We willuse Game Based Learning (GBL) as our framework for this research and as a base for ourapproach in teaching these skills to our students. We will begin by doing an overview of ourresearch including our motivation for this research, our theoretical framework and the use ofvirtual reality as a teaching tool. We will then discuss our current progress in developing both thelesson plan, hardware and software used for this learning module
