Instead of using instructor-made screencasts, students were asked tomake their own screencasts, review each others‟ screencasts, and provide feedback. To explorethe impact of student-made screencast exercises on students' learning outcomes, we conducted apretest posttest quasi-experimental research.

Thisresearch uses historical engineering specifically as an example for demonstrating the value ofVR used in this way, with the reconstruction of an ancient monument in a virtualenvironment as the main objective. The monument reconstructed here is the Jinshanlingregion of the Great Wall of China, which has been analyzed for up-to-date measurementswhich are used as the data set to be visualized by the simulation.

Unfortunately, cognitive development related toknowledge collection has been the primary focus of education in the past.Active learning has been a topic of numerous papers and research since the 1970’s and continuesto be the focus of research and methodology discussions of instruction at all levels. Thetechniques of active learning are designed to move the focus of education from primarilyknowledge acquisition to include the solution-based strategies that teach the “whole” student.Originally designed for face-to-face instruction, active learning now must be taken into thenewer realm of on-line and technology enhanced learning.

Some terminate at the end of primary school, some enter an academic program in a secondary school, and the remainder receive specialized technical training and general course work at a vocational school.Vocational and technical education also suffered from a lack of clarity as to what it involvedand what pedagogical methodologies and strategies should have been employed to promotestudent learning.

One of the strategies used to accomplish this goal is to embed design intothe computer graphics course sequence.According to the Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary the definition of the termembedded is to make something an integral part of the topic, which is the objective in allthree of the courses in the computer graphics sequence.

Many of the students at University of Massachusetts Lowell are thefirst generation in their family to attend college and many have to work 20-40 hours a week tomeet their financial obligations for college and living costs. While these students have a verygood work ethic, they are all too often faced with making the choice among working, sleepingand attending class. Therefore, assigning
