Abstract:
Students come into college with pre-assumptions on how things work. When faced with complex problems, students jump to conclusions based on what they can physically see and their past experience. Based on real world contexts, case-based learning has been used effectively to help students become team-oriented problem solvers. Virtual worlds offer the tools and affordances to build graphically rich, interactive learning environments. In order to better support the educational community, this proposal seeks to develop a set of tools, inspired by the popular games Myst and Nancy Drew, to allow for the development for interactive case-based learning scenarios.
