Our mission is to enhance science understanding through interdisciplinary dialogue via virtual environments and social media. We continue to collaborate with educators and researchers to re:envision innovative ways to attract and engage a diverse people and ideas\, while working to solve technological and user issues. \nObjectives:\n1. Participants will be able to see how Virtual Worlds can facilitate open-source STE(A)M education.\n2. Participants will be able to consider the interplay between VWs and the toolbox of social media. \nLocation URL:https://sciencecircle.org/event/vwbpe-sciencecircle/ LOCATION:VWBPE 2019 Quadrivium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sciencecircle.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Auditorium_003-e1552833611678.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190405T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190405T125000 DTSTAMP:20260415T022609 CREATED:20190324T105011Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190330T113638Z UID:6678-1554465600-1554468600@sciencecircle.org SUMMARY:Reconsider cultural difference in online education DESCRIPTION: \n\n“Reconsider cultural difference in online education”\n\n\n \n Ethics & Responsibility Presentations\n\n\n \nCultural differences learning Online education\n\n\n\nCompass Point Discussion Presenters: Hsiao-Cheng (Sandrine) Han (SL: Kristy Handrick)\, University of British Columbia; Kwesi Yaro (SL: Banapeh); Diana Ihnatovych (SL: dianaihn); Jennifer Zhao (SL: JenniferZhao); Peisen Ding (SL: AAADeanAAA) \nDescription: Have educators considered online education in relation to students’ cultural differences? Does that even matter? In MOOCs with students coming from different cultural backgrounds\, do students learn differently because their cultural background? Should educators address it?
