SUMMARY:Improving Digital Literacy – A Solvable Challenge using Virtual Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Presenter:\nMarie Vans/amvans lapis (Avatar)\nEducators and Trainers\nValerie Hill/Valibrarian Gregg\nEducators and Trainers \nVirtual World librarians are positioned to lead efforts to develop digital citizenship by developing programs that assist in the mastery of responsible and appropriate technology use\, including online identity\, communication etiquette\, and rights and responsibilities by learners. We present the definition of digital literacy and the very solvable challenges faced by educators and students. We also include possible solutions and call for the creation of a digital literacy lifecycle model. \nParticipants will have an understanding of the challenges and issues for becoming digitally literate.\nParticipants will understand how to engage others in meaningful conversation on digital literacy. \nMore information & location

SUMMARY:Use Cases for Social Virtual Reality
DESCRIPTION:Photo: ESA \nPresenters:\nLisa Laxton/Lisa Laxton (Avatar)\nResearch and Development Community Foundation\nCynthia Calogne/Lyr Lobo\nEducators and Trainers\nSingergirl Mode\nBusiness and Entrepreneurs\nDieter Heyne\nCoders\, Scripters\, and System/IT Analysts\nGentle Heron\nSupport and Help Communities \nMany virtual world technologies are available today in the social virtual reality realm. Because teachers and researchers often do not share institutional data\, choosing the best technology can be a challenge. Each use case requires analytical thinking to solve problems considering: virtual world design rationale; features associated with social use; security requirements; and accessibility. Panellists will present use cases and solutions. Compass point discussion will follow the presentations. \nParticipants will be able to learn innovative approaches to educational virtual world use cases.\nParticipants will be able to learn about Infinite Metaverse Alliance and reasons for engagement. \nMore information & location

SUMMARY:Chemistry Experiments in Virtual Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Photo: VWBPE Lecture hall A \nPresenter:\nWendy L. Keeney-Kennicutt/Julia Tiraxibar (Avatar)\nEducators and Trainers \nThe design\, implementation and assessment of college-level chemistry experiments conducted in Second Life suggest that VWs can be effective for teaching chemistry laboratory. In this pilot study\, 55 students successfully completed two virtual experiments and showed learning gains similar to 67 students who performed identical real world experiments\, as shown by pre/post quizzes and a practicum. Students held positive views of their virtual experience; teaching assistants had mixed opinions. \nParticipants will be able to better translate a physical lab experience to VR for students and TAs. \nMore information & location

SUMMARY:Our Brains\, Ourselves\, Our Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nThuja Hynes (Avatar)\nAdvocacy and NonProfit\nLissena\nAdvocacy and NonProfit \nA Virtual Interactive Model of the Five Pillars of Whole-Brain Health connects the goals of healthy Neuroplasticity and Collective Learning. Participants learn brain structure and function as they engage in a spectrum of activities\, capture their experiences digitally in images and text\, and contribute these to a collaborative document. We then correlate that information to regions of a walk-in anatomically correct model of the human brain. The result is a hologram of our collective understanding. \nParticipants will actively discover how the 5 pillars of whole-brain health can be applied to their own lives.\nParticipants will use voice\, text\, captured images\, and movement to build a collective neural map and understanding. \nMore information & location
