The largely successful massively multiplayer online game, or MMO, World of Warcraft is specifically analyzed and deconstructed through visual aids such as scatter-plots, forum evaluations, and lists of code to illustrate how the site fosters the growth of scientific literacy in today’s youth. Among this compelling evidence, Steinkuehler and Duncan rhetorically substantiate their claims

The editors at the International Journal on Innovation in Online Education are excited with the publication of this first issue. Each issue will include articles that address cutting edge and innovations currently in use at institutes of higher education among online educators across a variety of professional disciplines. For those of you who may not be familiar with the term “stream” or “stream editor”, our editors-in-chief explain: The concept of a stream is based on the idea of a rapidly flowing stream of knowledge about an area in online education. Stream editors select streams based on insights to the field, observed need, and reader interest”. I would like to introduce myself as the stream editor for nursing. In this issue, you will find information on how an immersive virtual environment was incorporated into an undergraduate community health nursing course to teach student how to conduct a windshield survey and other community health

Second Life features many diverse forms of entertainment for its users, from games to malls, clubs, movie theaters, vampire castles, space stations, etc. Creativity has always been a priority for Second Life. Residents are given freedom to express themselves artistically and create whatever they desire. Finally, Second Life has created a marketplace for residents to earn and spend real world money in for of Linden dollars. Many real-world business have joined Second Life and have created virtual world outlets for users. In this venue, companies can hold virtual meeting with team members

Our team has experience in diverse multicultural students. Our teams works across Indonesia and Australia education systems (New South Wales and Victoria). We have a good sample size to measure if the immersive technology can lift academic grades. Furthermore we can follow the students journey after they finish from

Bloom brings his expertise to the virtual world, giving students diverse insight into the problems and questions they ponder in their lives.

Most online students use course management systems such as Blackboard to master the material. Some learn by streaming audio or video lectures. But, universities are offering courses that are taking online studies to the next level.

Video games. School. One is an entertainment platform while the other is an educational institution. At first glance, they appear to standing obsoleted in a spectrum. One might even claim the video games like hinders the education process or cause the younger generation socially isolated. However, couldn’t the same be said out the core curriculum place in the majority of school? Schools and video games like Papers, Please might even share similar structure and lessons.

“VitCorp has released yet another fully immersive virtual reality game, the second ever VRMMORPG, and the fourth VR game. Ever since VitCorp released [Survive], a virtual reality survival game, they have become wildly popular.”

In cognitive science there is a growing theory that cognitive processes develop when bodies and their environment have real-time, goal-directed interactions (IEP). The human mind is stimulated and developed when the mind, body and environment conjointly interact and influence one another. Embodiment is comprehended as the distinctive way a body can effectively interact with its environment through the body’s sensorimotor capabilities. In today’s world, modern video games have presented a new form of embodiment that is now being studied. The study focuses on the relationship between players, avatars and 3D-virtual worlds. There is a wide debate about whether the embodiment of avatars in modern video games can have an effect on the human

Virtual reality defined as to produce and create the effect of an interactive 3D world in which the objects have a sense of spatial presence by using computer technologies. Our perceptual and cognitive system will be presented by precise clues in order for our brain to interpret and understand those clues as outside object in 3D world. In addition, virtual reality suggest a lot of benefits and advantages to education of technical such as delivery information through multiple active channels, addressing of dissimilar learning styles, experiential-based learning and so on ( Bell & Fogler, 2004, p 217).

Second Life amplifies learning beyond capabilities afforded by teleconference calls and web presentation tools. It also creates an avenue for field trips inside virtual organs, machines and other environments that go far beyond the limits of traditional learning spaces. Training simulations are also incredibly powerful in Second Life because they simulate complex, processes in the physical world and avatars can take on different roles to enhance learning.
