Shernoff, Elisa S.; Von Schalscha, Katherine; Gabbard, Joseph L.; Delmarre, Alban; Frazier, Stacy L.; Buche, Cédric; Lisetti, Christine – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Simulation offers unique affordances over traditional training (e.g., remote access, mastery learning experiences, immediate feedback) relevant to teacher training in behavior management. This study describes a user-based evaluation of Interactive Virtual Training for Teachers (IVT-T). The study involved observing representative users (seven…

Baylor, Amy L. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
While the addition of an anthropomorphic interface agent to a learning system generally has little direct impact on learning, it potentially has a huge impact on learner motivation. As such agents become increasingly ubiquitous on the Internet, in virtual worlds, and as interfaces for learning and gaming systems, it is important to design them to…
