Abstract

Abstract: In this proposal we describe the design of an advanced geosciences program that uses Second Life Teen World to develop problem-based learning abilities and geosciences concepts in urban students. GeoWorlds are complex problem-based scenarios designed into 3-D virtual environments where students can interact with the virtual environment, AI guides and each other to develop a solution to the problem space. The design team also created a research program that utilizes sociocultural learning theories to develop an analytical qualitative analysis of the learning processes of the students.
