Paper presented at the VWRN conference http://www.vwrn.org/p/conference-details-2012.html In this paper, we present a new approach to educational activities in 3D virtual worlds, which is based on a new vision of educational content and opens new possibilities for learning. Traditionally, the content in 3D virtual worlds was thought as interactive media objects embedded in a 3D environment, but there was no means for capturing life activities conducted in such environments, except for recording screen videos. At the same time, the most valuable characteristics of this technology are in the synchronous interaction and rich life experience, which disappear in flat video. Therefore, we argue that a mechanism that allows capturing synchronous activities in a 3D virtual world without losing such essential characteristics has great value. Such mechanism is implemented within the project Virtual Academia, which aims at developing an educational virtual world with a set of tools for collaborative learning (http://vacademia.com/). The virtual world vAcademia is currently under beta testing, which includes several cases from which the feedback is being collected. The main original feature of vAcademia is 3D recording, which allows capturing dynamically everything in a given location of the virtual world. The use of resultant 3D recordings is similar to time travelling. It allows a group of learners to experience a past class and collaborate there, recording it again if needed. In such a manner, vAcademia supports a new type of digital content – 3D recording or virtcast, which is created based on synchronous activities and opens new possibilities to explore.

Virtual Summer School in Second Life: Supporting Creative Communities

Mikhail Fominykh

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are constantly expanding into various fields of education. Thanks to AR and VR, we can now bring a whole new dimension to the realm of language education resulting in enhanced learning and increased motivation and engagement, as evidenced in the literature (Godwin-Jones, 2016). With ubiquitous devices such as smartphones and inexpensive VR headsets, we are able to take a step forward in blurring the boundaries between the real and the virtual world, giving our students immersive learning experiences. However, similar to any new technology introduced, many ELT practitioners are not familiar with or keen on integrating AR/VR-related learning tools and resources into their classes. In order to get the audience more acquainted with AR/VR uses in language education, the presenter will first outline the basic concepts within this area of research and practice. She will continue with demonstrating an AR mobile application, Blippar, and a VR application, Google Expeditions, using smartphones and Google Cardboard. She will also discuss the use of these apps in language learning contexts while providing ideas for augmented/virtual-reality-enhanced classroom tasks and activities. Finally, JALT’s newly formed Mixed, Augmented, Virtual Realities in Learning (MAVR) SIG will be introduced as a way for attendees to further explore AR and VR applications in language pedagogy.

From computing to computational thinking: Encouraging creative approaches to problem-solving across the curriculum 26 JANUARY, 2017 15:50 - 16:10 Bett Futures Computational thinking is a problem-solving process that involves looking at possible solutions abstractly and algorithmically, in a series of ordered steps. People who are able to think in this way tend to be good at generalizing and transferring this problem-solving process to a wide variety of problems. Computational thinking has been hailed as having the potential to foster a new culture of learning in which creativity is rewarded and people are encouraged to experiment, so how can you introduce it in your lessons?

"Empowering Young Job Seekers with Virtual Reality" has been presented at IEEE VR 2019, the 26th IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces will be held from March 23rd through March 27th, 2019 at the Osaka International Convention Center in Osaka, Japan. http://www.ieeevr.org/2019/ Abstract: This paper presents the results of the Virtual Internship project that aims to help young job seekers get insights of different workplaces via immersive and interactive experiences. We designed a concept of ‘Immersive Job Taste’ that provides a rich presentation of occupations with elements of workplace training, targeting a specific group of young job seekers, including high-school students and unemployed. We developed several scenarios and applied different virtual and augmented reality concepts to build prototypes for different types of devices. The intermediary and the final versions of the prototypes were evaluated by several groups of primary users and experts, including over 70 young job seekers and high school students and over 45 various professionals and experts. The data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. The results indicate a generally very positive attitude towards the concept of immersive job taste, although with significant differences between job seekers and experts. The prototype developed for room-scale virtual reality with controllers was generally evaluated better than those including cardboard with 360 videos or with animated 3D graphics and augmented reality glasses. In the paper, we discuss several aspects, such as the potential of immersive technologies for career guidance, fighting youth unemployment by better informing the young job seekers, and various practical and technology considerations.

"Immersive Job Taste: a Concept of Demonstrating Workplaces with Virtual Reality" has been presented at 2019 IEEE VR Fourth Workshop on K-12+ Embodied Learning through Virtual & Augmented Reality (KELVAR) on March 23, 2019. https://sites.google.com/site/vrkelvar/ ABSTRACT This paper presents a new concept of ‘Immersive Job Taste’ – interactive virtual reality demonstration of a workplace that aims to give a feeling of going through an average workday of a professional with elements of basic training. The main target audiences of Job Taste simulations are young job seekers who can be aided in selecting a career path at school or a welfare center, choosing the first or a new occupation, often after a period of being unemployed. The design methodology behind the Immersive Job Taste concept includes presentation of a workplace, typical tasks, feedback on performance, and advice on applying for jobs in the specific industry. We developed several scenarios and applied different virtual and augmented reality concepts to build prototypes for different types of devices. The prototypes were evaluated by several groups of primary users and experts. The results indicate a generally very positive attitude towards the concept. In this paper, we discuss the potential impact of applying the concept and directions for future work.

Slides form the keynote at the Simposio Internacional de Informática Educativa (SIIE 2018) http://siie2018.uca.es/index.php/en/keynotes-en/ Abstract: In the context of the 4th industrial revolution and a globalized world, there is a pressing need for continuous acquisition and update of skills to maintain efficiency and to ensure inclusion and participation of all citizens in the globalized workplace. At the highly automated and rapidly updated workplaces, the need for expertise and effective training is growing. In the EU-funded research-and-innovation project WEKIT, we address these challenges by developing a new approach to industrial training. This approach is based on the idea of using wearable sensors to capture expert performance and then making it available for trainees using Augmented Reality. The WEKIT training methodology and the technological platform allow creating effective educational experience efficiently using the time of the expert involved in content creation. The idea of capturing workplace experience finds another application area in the research project Virtual Internship, funded by the Norwegian welfare authority. In this project, we use augmented and virtual reality to increase awareness of schoolchildren about various professions and improve motivation of young unemployed to search for a new job. We aim to find out if immersive and interactive experiences of exploring workplaces and trying typical tasks can help in mitigating the youth unemployment.

Presentation given at the 29th EdMedia conference, Washington DC. Abstract: In this paper, we explore role-playing and experiential learning approaches applied in an immersive virtual environment for a professional counseling distance course. Training professional counselors requires practice and therefore possesses a challenge for the distant education. Although both counseling professionals’ codes of ethics provide guidance for the ethical practice in difficult situations, the prevailing response among many of these professionals tends to be ambivalent. We explored conditions that influenced knowledge acquisition of graduate rehabilitation counseling students who role-played two challenging scenarios and then had a possibility to review the performance. The data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. The potential of the teaching method and the supporting technology are discussed. The findings indicate that role-playing and experiential learning are valued by the participants as a teaching method in a distance course.

Presentation given at the 29th EdMedia conference, Washington DC. Abstract: This paper presents a concept for designing low-cost therapeutic training with biofeedback and virtual reality. We completed the first evaluation of a prototype - a mobile learning application for relaxation training, primarily for adolescents suffering from tension-type headaches. The system delivers visual experience on a head-mounted display. A wirelessly connected wristband is used to measure user’s pulse and adjust the training scenario based on the heart rate data. Repeating the exercise can make the user able to go through the scenario without using the app, learn how to relax, and ultimately combat tension-type headache. The prototype has been evaluated with 25 participants. The results demonstrate that the application provides a relaxing experience and the implementation of biofeedback is useful for therapeutic training. The results are discussed to evaluate the technological, therapeutic and educational potential of the prototype and to improve the conceptual framework.

Wearable Experience for Knowledge Intensive Training: Learning Methodology and Technology Design Mikhail Fominykh Project Manager at Europlan UK ltd, United Kingdom Associate Professor at Molde University College, Norway Adjunct Professor at Volga State University of Technology, Russia mihail.fominyh@gmail.com Abstract: This session presents a learning methodology and a technology design that are being developed in the European research-and-innovation project Wearable Experience for Knowledge-Intensive Training (WEKIT). The project aims to improve industrial training with immersive experience by embedding captured expert guidance and technical documentation into the physical space around the learner. In WEKIT, we use advanced sensors to capture experience as it emerges. Captured guidance provides reference to scale, allowing repeated access to the information asynchronously at the right time and in the right place. Expert guidance is captured with wearable sensors and later re-enacted by trainees with augmented reality creating a believable illusion of a master-apprentice knowledge sharing. The captured experience therefore represents a new type of educational media that has properties of carrying both explicit and tacit knowledge. This new media helps to convert experience to knowledge and enable learning by bringing closer the theoretical knowledge and immediate experience, which are traditionally separated. Tailored content of captured experience can be presented with augmented reality using intuitive and immersive user interfaces. This can have a positive impact on mental processing and memorization, not only adding scaffolds for high performance, but also acting as a safety net preventing potential problems sensed in the environment. The learning activities in WEKIT are enhanced by the trainees reflecting on their own performance, looking back at their behavior and comparing it to that of others. The goal of the WEKIT methodology is to enable the full cycle of immersive experience observing an expert, training with and without guidance, and observing own performance. The WEKIT technological software-and-hardware platform is a modular and distributed system for capturing and re-enacting experience.

This slides were presented at the invited speech at the World Conference on Educational Media and Technology (EdMedia) which was held in Vancouver, BC, Canada on June 28-30, 2016. Abstract: Wearable computing and augmented reality are disruptive technologies. They fundamentally change the way we educate and train people to a master level of performance. With advanced sensors we can capture experience as it emerges. For example, a trainee can receive live guidance in the form of semi-transparent 3D hands that appear at the right place spatially and operated by a remote expert using sensor data. Captured guidance provides reference to scale, allowing repeated access to the information asynchronously at the right time and in the right place where it is most urgently needed. Expert guidance can be captured with wearable sensors and later re-enacted by trainees with augmented reality creating a believable illusion of a master-apprentice knowledge sharing. The captured experience therefore represents a new type of educational media that has properties of carrying both explicit and tacit knowledge. This new media helps to convert experience to knowledge and enable learning by bringing closer the theoretical knowledge and immediate experience, which are traditionally separated. Tailored content of captured experience can be presented with augmented reality using intuitive and immersive user interfaces. This can have a positive impact on mental processing and memorization, not only adding scaffolds for high performance, but also acting as a safety net preventing potential problems sensed in the environment. Learning how to master a complex task usually involves reflecting on your own performance, looking back at your behavior and comparing it to that of others. The goal of this new training methodology is to enable the full cycle of immersive experience observing an expert, training with and without guidance, and observing own performance.
