"Investigating the Design and Implementation of Educational Multi User " by Vin Cent LOH
The research aims to investigate how students' experience with design components of online simulations in Multi User Virtual Environments may relate to learning in higher education, specifically in information sciences. Using a design-based research methodology, the study makes use of a theoretical motivational model specifically for MUVEs, in the development of a set of educational MUVE design principles, their implementation and testing in a higher education classroom setting. From this, a design framework for implementation of simulations in MUVEs in higher education is developed based...
