“…Inferring theories of situated learning [38], it is likely that positive experiences might occur due to the students learning with their peers. This matter, investigated by deNoyelles and Seo, might be of great importance for virtual world learning [39]. …”

BackgroundEmergency medical practices are often team efforts. Training for various tasks and collaborations may be carried out in virtual environments. Although promising results exist from studies of serious games, little is known about the subjective reactions of learners when using multiplayer virtual world (MVW) training in medicine.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to reach a better understanding of the learners’ reactions and experiences when using an MVW for team training of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).MethodsTwelve Swedish medical students participated in semistructured focus group discussions after CPR training in an MVW with partially preset options. The students’ perceptions and feelings related to use of this educational tool were investigated. Using qualitative methodology, discussions were analyzed by a phenomenological data-driven approach. Quality measures included negotiations, back-and-forth reading, triangulation, and validation with the informants.ResultsFour categories characterizing the students’ experiences could be defined: (1) Focused Mental Training, (2) Interface Diverting Focus From Training, (3) Benefits of Practicing in a Group, and (4) Easy Loss of Focus When Passive. We interpreted the results, compared them to findings of others, and propose advantages and risks of using virtual worlds for learning.ConclusionsBeneficial aspects of learning CPR in a virtual world were confirmed. To achieve high participant engagement and create good conditions for training, well-established procedures should be practiced. Furthermore, students should be kept in an active mode and frequent feedback should be utilized. It cannot be completely ruled out that the use of virtual training may contribute to erroneous self-beliefs that can affect later clinical performance.

“…Felnhofer ve arkadaşları (2014) tarafından yapılan çalışmada ise erkeklerin kadınlara göre daha fazla mekânsal buradalık, katılım ve orada olma hissine sahip olduğu; ama sosyal buradalık açısından cinsiyetler arası fark olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Diğer taraftan sosyal buradalık düzeyinde cinsiyete göre farklılık olduğu sonucuna ulaşılan çalışmalar da mevcuttur (deNoyelles ve Kyeong-Ju Seo, 2012;Richardson ve Swan, 2003;Siriaraya ve Ang, 2012;Thayalan, Shanthi ve Paridia, 2012). Buradalık açısından incelendiğinde alanyazında farklı sonuçlara ulaşılan çalışmalar mevcuttur.…”

ÖZ:Bu çalışmanın amacı öğrenme için yeni olanaklar sunan üç-boyutlu çok-kullanıcılı sanal ortamları kullanan katılımcıların bu ortamlara yönelik buradalık düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmada ayrıca katılımcıların buradalık düzeylerinde cinsiyetlerine göre bir farklılık olup olmadığı da incelenmiştir. Ek olarak ortam üzerinden yapılan görüşmelerde araştırmacılar tarafından tutulan alan notları ve katılımcılar ile yapılan görüşmeler sonucu elde edilen nitel veriler ile katılımcıların buradalık algıları nitel açıdan incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın katılımcılarını 2010-2011 yılı Bahar döneminde İç Anadolu Bölgesindeki büyük bir devlet üniversitesinde, Eğitim Fakültesi BÖTE bölümünde Programlama Dilleri II dersine devam etmekte olan 24 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında veri toplama aracı olarak Sosyal Buradalık Ölçeği ve Sanal Ortamda Buradalık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Nitel verilerin elde edilmesi için alan notları ve görüşmelerden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre katılımcıların buradalık düzeylerinin orta düzeyin üzerinde olduğu, buradalık düzeyinin cinsiyete göre farklılaşmadığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca katılımcıların görüşleri doğrultusunda buradalığın oluşmasını sağlayan ortam özellikleri belirlenmiştir.

In addition, the participants' presence levels were compared in terms of gender. Participants' presence levels were examined qualitatively through online interviews, field notes, and interviews with the participants. The sample comprised 24 students, who attended Programming Languages II course in a Computer Education and Instructional Technology Department at a large state university in Central Anatolia Region of Turkey in 2011 Spring semester. Social Presence Scale and Virtual Environment Presence Questionnaire were used as data collection instruments. Field notes and interviews were used in order to obtain qualitative data. The results revealed that participants had a medium presence level and these levels did not differ in terms of gender. Also, the environmental factors leading to the formation of presence were identified in line with participants' opinions.

“…Current examples, such as Second Life (secondlife.com) or World of Warcraft (us.blizzard.com) appear to have a strong appeal on users [5], [6] and seem to enhance participant involvement when used for educational and training purposes [7]. A comprehensive presentation of virtual worlds, their history and availability to date is beyond the scope of this paper; the reader can obtain such information from other sources such as Bartle [4] and Duncann et al [8].…”

Abstract-As international businesses adopt social media and virtual worlds as mediums for conducting international business, so there is an increasing need for interpreters who can bridge the language barriers, and work within these new spheres. The recent rise in migration (within the EU) has also increased the need for professional interpreters in business, legal, medical and other settings. Project IVY attempts to provide bespoke 3D virtual environments that are tailor made to train interpreters to work in the new digital environments, responding to this increased demand. In this paper we present the design and development of the IVY Virtual Environment. We present past and current design strategies, our implementation progress and our future plans for further development.
