The document provides information about virtual worlds and examples of their use for educational purposes. It summarizes how to download software to access virtual worlds, gives examples of simulations and activities used in subjects like nursing, science, and math, and provides instructions to register for a virtual world called SciEthics Interactive.
STEM in 3D
- 1. For a truly immersive experience, download the Phoenix Viewer (or other mesh-enabled viewers with grid manager) http://www.phoenixviewer.com/ (I also have copies of the software on 3 USB drives)
- 2. Virtual Worlds Dr. Larysa Nadolny, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, USA & Dr. Mark Childs, Coventry University, UK
- 3. Digital environment Synchronous Community of avatars Persistent network Virtual environments are home to games, simulations, community groups and more.
- 5. Examples in Practice • Nursing simulations • Space station • Mathematical modeling • Mars exploration • Global issues (oil spills, melting ice caps, etc.) • Weather • Chemical modeling • Biodiversity • Cell structures • Scripting • Construction design • Architecture • Graphic design • Disability awareness • Career fairs
- 6. Learning in Action! Vidoes • Software Engineering game • Science Overview • Science Lab • SubQuan Math Lab • Math and Science Exploratorium • High School Science • Coral Sanctuaries Demonstration
- 7. Join me if you have a Second Life Avatar! “Friend” Larysa Freenote
- 8. To sign up for SciEthics Interactive: Register at http://sciethics.metaverseworlds.com/register/
