    # # ----- Learning, Media and Technology --- College students' conceptions of learning management: the difference between traditional (face-to-face) instruction and Web-based learning environments Preview Buy now DOI:10.1080/17439884.2011.606223 Hung-Ming Lina* & Chin-Chung Tsaib Available online: 02 Sep 2011 Alert me Abstract This study investigates the differences between students' conceptions of learning management via traditional instruction and Web-based learning environments. The Conceptions of Learning Management Inventory (COLM) was administered to 259 Taiwanese college students majoring in Business Administration. The COLM has six factors (categories), namely, learning management as memorizing, testing, applying, gaining higher status, understanding, and seeing in a new way. These categories are considered as being in a hierarchical order, from lower-level to higher-level. The results suggest that the students agree more with the ‘seeing in a new way’ category when learning management in a Web-based environment, while they show stronger acknowledgement of the conceptions of the ‘memorizing’, ‘testing’, ‘gaining higher status’, and ‘applying’ categories when learning management via traditional instruction. It is suggested that Web-based instruction can promote students' higher-level conceptions of learning management. ----- http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17439884.2011.606223

    # # # ----- Effects of collaborative activities on group identity in virtual world Hyungsung Park, Sumin Seo Interactive Learning Environments iFirst ----- Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of collaborative activities on group identity in a virtual world such as Second Life. To achieve this purpose, this study adopted events that promoted participants' interactions using tools inherent in Second Life. The interactive tools given to the control group in this study included ‘permissions to move, copy, edit’, ‘give item’, ‘chat’, and ‘send instant message’. In addition to these tools, special tools of ‘give item for praise’ and ‘pollster’ were given to the experimental group. The two groups were compared using scores of group identity, which has nine subcategories. The experimental group showed higher scores in five subcategories than the control group. Thus, we concluded that the use of tools for facilitating participants' interactions is effective for the formation of group identity. ----- http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10494820.2011.604037

Box 212120, 00076 Aalto, Helsinki, Finland Available online 2 July 2011. Abstract Social virtual worlds (SVWs) have become important environments for social interaction. At the same time, the supply and demand of virtual goods and services is rapidly increasing. For SVWs to be economically sustainable, retaining existing users and turning them into consumers are paramount challenges. This requires an understanding of the underlying reasons why users continuously engage in SVWs and purchase virtual items. This study builds upon Technology Acceptance Model, motivational model and theory of network externalities to examine continuous usage and purchase intention and it empirically tests the model with data collected from 2481 Habbo users. The results reveal a strong relationship between continuous usage and purchasing. Further, the results demonstrate the importance of the presence of other users in predicting the purchase behavior in the SVW. Continuous SVW usage in turn is predicted directly by perceived enjoyment and usefulness while the effect of attitude is marginal. Finally, perceived network externalities exert a significant influence of perceived enjoyment and usefulness of the SVW but do not have a direct effect on the continuous usage. Highlights ► Millions of teenagers actively participate in social virtual worlds. ► Teenagers’ participation in social virtual worlds is strongly driven by their intrinsic motivation. ► Purchasing virtual items results from sustained participation and perceived network externalities. ► Attitude is a surprisingly weak predictor of teenagers’ usage of social virtual worlds.

    # # # # ----- eMedical Teacher. By: Ellaway, Rachel. Medical Teacher, Sep2010, Vol. 32 Issue 9, p798-800, 3p, 1 Diagram; Abstract: The article discusses the aspects of virtual reality in medical laboratory research and education. It mentions that the vision of immersive computer generated environments has not yet been developed despite the increased availability and capabilities in computing power. However, the medical education aspects of virtual reality have led the learning experience into the mainstream through the use of third dimensional (3D) animations, digital imaging tools, and other interactive computer systems. Although, virtual reality in medical education, is limited since it requires participants to step away from the environment where they performed its practices. Therefore, virtual reality is based on stepping away from realities to achieve better goals by rehearsing real world skills.; DOI: 10.3109/0142159X.2010.513223; (AN 53135593)

    # # # # ----- Integrating Genomics Into Undergraduate Nursing Education. --- By: Daack-Hirsch, Sandra; Dieter, Carla; Quinn Griffin, Mary T.. ----- Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 2011 3rd Quarter, Vol. 43 Issue 3, p223-230, 8p; ----- Abstract: Purpose: To prepare the next generation of nurses, faculty are now faced with the challenge of incorporating genomics into curricula. Here we discuss how to meet this challenge. Organizing Construct: Steps to initiate curricular changes to include genomics are presented along with a discussion on creating a genomic curriculum thread versus a standalone course. Ideas for use of print material and technology on genomic topics are also presented. Information is based on review of the literature and curriculum change efforts by the authors. Conclusions: In recognition of advances in genomics, the nursing profession is increasing an emphasis on the integration of genomics into professional practice and educational standards. Incorporating genomics into nurses' practices begins with changes in our undergraduate curricula. Information given in didactic courses should be reinforced in clinical practica, and Internet-based tools such as WebQuest, SecondLife, and wikis offer attractive, up-to-date platforms to deliver this now crucial content. Clinical Relevance: To provide information that may assist faculty to prepare the next generation of nurses to practice using genomics.

    # # # ----- Surfing for Knowledge: Virtual Libraries and Books on the Web. By: Wicks, Pamela. Community & Junior College Libraries, Apr-Jun2011, Vol. 17 Issue 2, p75-86, 12p; Abstract: Virtual environments such as SecondLife (SL) may provide a way to connect with today's digital native and increase the readership of the community college student, both in virtual and real world libraries. Many colleges and universities already have a presence in SL. Books and services typically found in a 'brick and mortar' library can be provided in these virtual libraries, including the ability to 'read' a book. Limitation to these spaces include funding and training of the virtual librarian. Future research is needed to determine the best way to serve community college students in these digital spaces and the training required of the virtual librarian.

Authors: Sivunen, Anu -- Hakonen, Marko Source: Small Group Research; Aug2011, Vol. 42 Issue 4, p405-457, 53p Document Type: Article Subject Terms: *AVATARS (Virtual reality) *RESEARCH -- Methodology *TELEMATICS *TELECOMMUNICATION systems SECOND Life (Game) Author-Supplied Keywords: computer-mediated communication virtual environment virtual group virtual world NAICS/Industry Codes: 517410 Satellite Telecommunications --- Abstract: This article provides a review of previously published studies on virtual environments (VEs), focusing especially on empirical articles on social and group phenomena in VEs and their methodological and theoretical trends. VEs can be defined as communication systems in which interactants share the same three-dimensional digital space and can navigate, manipulate objects, and interact with one another via avatars. When examining the methodological and theoretical choices of these studies, four trends could be identified that characterize group studies on VEs: (a) testing the applicability of real-life, social behavior norms in VEs, (b) a lack of work group studies using VEs, (c) the micro-level treatment of social and groups, and (d) a lack of covering theory.

Authors: KAHN, JENNIFER Source: New Yorker; 7/11/2011, Vol. 87 Issue 20, p46-53, 7p, 1 Color Photograph Document Type: Article Subject Terms: *COMPUTER scientists *INTERNET *ONLINE social networks *TECHNOLOGY SOCIAL aspects People: LANIER, Jaron Abstract: The article presents a profile of Jaron Lanier, an author and computer scientist who was involved in the development of virtual reality and is a consultant for the software company Microsoft Research. Lanier's ideas on the social impact of the Internet and online social networking websites are shared. His book "You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto" is discussed. Other topics include a history of virtual reality technology, Lanier's childhood, his parents, and career at Microsoft. Full Text Word Count: 5074 ISSN: 0028792X Accession Number: 62548310 Database: Academic Search Premier Section: PROFILES ----- Lanier is often described as "visionary," a word that manages to convey both a capacity for mercurial insight and a lack of practical job skills. In the nineteen-eighties, he helped pioneer the field of virtual reality, and he is often credited with having coined the term. He has also dabbled in film. In 2001, he advised the writers of "Minority Report," Steven Spielberg's film about a dystopian future. Since 2006, he has worked as a consultant at Microsoft Research. More recently, he has become the go-to pundit for people lamenting the social changes wrought by modern technology. Last year, he published "You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto," a provocative critique of digital technologies, including Wikipedia (which he called a triumph of "intellectual mob rule") and social-networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, which he has described as dehumanizing and designed to encourage shallow interactions. Teen-agers, he writes, may vigilantly maintain their online reputations, but they do so "driven more by fear than by love." In our conversation about Facebook's face-recognition software, he added, "It'll just create a more paranoid society with a fakey-fakey social life--much like what happened in Communist countries, where people had a fake social life that the Stasi could see, and then this underground life."

Web. 21 July 2011. -- 3D interactions between virtual worlds and real life in an e-learning community.(Research Article). Advances in Human-Computer Interaction (Annual 2011)(7004 words) Show details Abstract: Virtual worlds became an appealing and fascinating component of today's internet. In particular, the number of educational providers that see a potential for E-Learning in such new platforms increases. Unfortunately, most of the environments and processes implemented up to now do not exceed a virtual modelling of real-world scenarios. In particular, this paper shows that Second Life can be more than just another learning platform. A flexible and bidirectional link between the reality and the virtual world enables synchronous and seamless interaction between users and devices across both worlds. The primary advantages of this interconnection are a spatial extension of face-to-face and online learning scenarios and a closer relationship between virtual learners and the real world. ----- http://find.galegroup.com/gtx/infomark.do?type=retrieve&prodId=AONE&userGroupName=nclivegwu&version=1.0&source=gale&digest=7905f6faca271748ab880b391a712d10&docId=A261631757&docType=IAC&tabID=T002

Show details Abstract: To authenticate to the full-text of this article, please visit this link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-6435.2011.00508.x Byline: Edward Castronova (1), Gert G. Wagner (2) Abstract: SUMMARY We study life satisfaction data from the 2005 World Values Survey and a 2009 survey of users of the virtual world Second Life. Second Life users do not have the same demographic profile as the general population, but the differences are not as large as we expected. The mechanisms and causes of life satisfaction seem to be similar in the two samples. Among Second Life users, satisfaction with their virtual life is higher than satisfaction with their real life. Regression analysis indicates that people in certain life situations, such as unemployment, gain more life satisfaction from 'switching' to the virtual world than from changing their real-life circumstances. In other words, an unemployed person can become happier by visiting Second Life rather than finding a job. Correspondingly, problems in real life are positive predictors of intense use of virtual life.

    # # # ----- Means-end analysis of consumers’ perceptions of virtual world affordances for e-commerce Tran, Minh Quang; Minocha, Shailey; Roberts, David and Laing, Angus (2011). Means-end analysis of consumers’ perceptions of virtual world affordances for e-commerce. In: INTERACT 2011 13th IFIP TC13 Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, 05 - 09 Sep 2011, Lisbon, Portugal (forthcoming). (Request Copy from OU Author) URL: http://interact2011.org/index.php?q=technical-prog... Google Scholar Look up in Google Scholar Abstract Virtual worlds are three-dimensional (3D) persistent multi-user online environments where users interact through avatars. The affordances of virtual worlds can be useful for business-to-consumer e-commerce. Moreover, affordances of virtual worlds can complement affordances of websites to provide consumers with an enhanced e-commerce experience. We investigated which affordances of virtual worlds can enhance consumers‟ experiences on e-commerce websites. We conducted laddering interviews with 30 virtual world consumers to understand their perceptions of virtual world affordances. A means-end analysis was then applied to the interview data. The results suggest co-presence, product discovery, 3D product experience, greater interactivity with products and sociability are some of the key virtual world affordances for consumers. We discuss theoretical implications of the research using dimensions from the Technology Acceptance Model. We also discuss practical implications, such as how virtual world affordances can be incorporated into the design of e-commerce websites.
