Wang, Chien-pang; Lan, Yu-Ju; Tseng, Wen-Ta; Lin, Yen-Ting R.; Gupta, Kao Chia-Ling – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2020
The 3D virtual worlds (3DVWs) were widely used for language learning in the past two decades. Although numerous research studies acknowledged the affordance, a full-scale investigation that discussed how they can be applied to language learning with substantial evidence of effect sizes were not presented. Thus, this analysis aimed to synthesize…

Kauble, Christena Ann – Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, 2011
Several classroom activities using a model of a seashore and an oil spill demonstrate the basic properties of oil spills in oceans. Students brainstorm about how to best clean up the mess. They work in teams, and after agreeing on how they will proceed, their method is tested by measuring the amount of oil removed and by rating the cleanliness of…

Harteveld, Casper; ten Thij, Eleonore; Copier, Marinka – Simulation & Gaming, 2011
One of the goals of game designers is to design for an engaging experience and for social interaction. The question is how. We know that games can be engaging and allow for social interaction, but how do we achieve this or even improve on it? This article provides an overview of several scientific approaches that deal with this question. It…
