Title
Designing immersive simulations for collective inquiry
Abstract
My doctoral research is concerned with the design, development, and evaluation of an immersive simulation in which a community of learners engage in scientific inquiry about biodiversity and evolution. Using distributed large displays in a "smart classroom" to immerse Grade 11 Biology students within a simulated rainforest setting, this research explores how a system of networked tablets, interactive whiteboards, and a web-based learning environment can support real-time face-to-face interactions, as well as asynchronous knowledge co-construction.
