The popularity of 3D virtual immersive environments for learning and collaboration continues to increase as more organizations realize the benefits of 3D for learning. The lessons learned from early programs have been distilled into a number of design considerations that can help even the most novice virtual immersive environmental designer get a handle on creating effective instruction in 3D virtual immersive environments (VIE). The primary objective of a VIE is to design engaging experiences that logically lead the learner along an optimal course to rapidly assimilate new learning. The key is the design of the experience and environment. The general design points to keep in mind when creating 3D virtual learning experiences are: 1. Take design into consideration. 2. Create the right c...

In the mostly female dominated profession of teaching, this pilot project investigates how a group of males who are both fathers and teachers perceive their experiences as they navigate these dual roles. This qualitative study invited men who were teaching in early childhood, primary and secondary settings in New Zealand, and who were also fathers, to comment on their perceptions of how their dual roles impacted on each other. The themes emerging from their responses included empathy for parents, better understanding of children, benefits for own children, and being viewed as "more real" by their students, as well as being better equipped to understand schools and learning, improved personal and professional qualities, and more time available to spend with family.

This study uses student surveys, a faculty survey and direct classroom observation to ascertain how students use laptop computers in the classroom and to identify the pedagogical techniques which greater student engagement. Students and faculty overwhelming indicate that laptop computers enhance course instruction. The results show that the benefits of laptop computers in the classroom include an increase in student spreadsheet skills and the ability to take notes electronically. Both students and faculty indicate that the disadvantages of using laptop computers include distractions offered by the web and the possibility of increased academic dishonesty. Over half of the students surveyed acknowledged using laptops to engage in activities not related to the course. Class observations sh...

Indicators that this question drives the work of the library classroom could include: 8 Mission statements delineate the primary learning goals of the 21stcentury library (consistent with AASL standards, ISTE standards, district/school mission). * Virtual calendars include the major assignments students are working on throughout the school (type of task, subject area, due date). * Accomplishments of other learners are showcased on the walls of the library space (physical and virtual) to inspire and inform the learning of others. * Goal-planning templates for students for both short-term tasks and lifelong aspirations (post-secondary education, career, personal enrichment) are developed and adopted. Indicators that show how students prefer to learn and drive the work of the school libra...

This article presents the findings of a study measuring the classroom climates in collegiate interior design studios and considers these findings within the group dynamics theory framework. Three groups of students completed the College Classroom Environment Scales (CCES) questionnaire. Five of the six CCES subscale F ratios were statistically significant among the different groups. Consideration of the findings with respect to each group in the interior design education sequence suggests that classroom climates follow predictable group dynamics patterns.
