Agenda• Is the use of 3D avatars appropriate for

Education?• Do 3D graphics and interactions really

make a difference in how a learner interacts with content or other learners?

• Why a 2D environment is not as effective for serious games as a 3D environment?

3D EducationalConsiderations

Page 30: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

Identity– no deep learning takes place unless an extended commitment of self is made for the long haul.

Good video games capture players through identify.

Players either inherit a strongly formed and appealing character or they get to build a characterfrom the ground up.

Players become committed to the new virtual world in which they will learn and act.

Why should the identify of being and doing “science,” “math,” “healthcare” or “sales” be any different?

James Paul Gee, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Page 31: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

We’ve Always Wanted Characters

Page 32: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

Why be a Character at All?

Research indicates that human social models influence behavior, beliefs and attitudes.

Bandura, A. 1986 Social foundations of thought and action: a social cognitive theory. Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA: Prentice-Hall.

Page 33: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

Avatar as Teacher

Research also indicates that learners perceive, interact socially with and are influenced by

anthropomorphic agents (avatars) even when their functionality and adaptability are limited.

Baylor, A. 2009 Promoting motivation with virtual agents and avatars: R ole of visual presence and appearance. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal B Society. 364, 3559–3565

A 3D Learning Environment (3DLE): Highly immersive virtual environment .

Page 35: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration
Page 36: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

Learners act and interact in real-time with each other and with the

instructor to accomplish a challenge or task. 

Page 37: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

Human interaction around a task where peer-to-peer or group learning is enabled. 

Page 38: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

Learners journey through a series of activities

designed to synthesize conceptual learning.

Page 39: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

Do not view virtual worlds as a next step in “how”

classroom-based learning will be delivered.

Page 40: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

 Instead, ask what kind of learning can this new technology enable.

Page 41: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

 Interactivity (I) + Immersion (I) = Sustained Engagement (E)

Page 42: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

If learners watch an avatar that looks like them exercising & losing weight, they will subsequently exercise more

in the real world as compared to a control group.

Page 43: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

Within 24 hours of watching an avatar like themselves run, learners

were more likely to run than watching an avatar not like them or

watching an avatar like them loitering .

  Learning changes from being Disembodied and Transactional to Embodied, Relational and Experiential.

Authentic Practice occurring in an authentic environment.

Page 48: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

By adding immersion to the equation, organizations can allow for higher quality learning interactions between

employees who work at a distance.

Page 49: Learning in 3D:  How Virtual Environments are Being  Leverage to Add Value to Learning and Collaboration

 Learning content not organized around the work context causes unnecessary overhead for the learner. 

 Learners tend to prefer instructions over

instruction.

Simulated environments always made sense in Medicine, Military and Aviation. Now they make sense

for Factories, Call Centers, and Retail Stores.

Summary• Traditional instruction is not immersive and

takes place “away” from work context• Interactivity + Immersion = Engagement• Create authentic learning environments

– Authentic practice– Authentic experiences
