GAZ VE TOZ BULUTUNDAN: 3B SANAL ÖĞRENME ORTAMI GELİŞTİRİRKEN KARŞILAŞILAN SORUNLARIN AŞILMASI

Abstract

Üç boyutlu sanal dünyalar öğrenme ortamları olarak kullanıcılarına yeni ufuklar kazandırmaktadırlar. Bununla birlikte, üç boyutlu öğrenme ortamlarının belirlenen hedeflere ulaşılmasında etkili olabilmeleri için dikkatli bir şekilde tasarlanmaları gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Second Life’ta kış sporları teması altında bir öğrenme ortamının tasarım süreci ayrıntılı olarak anlatılmaktadır. Analiz, tasarım, geliştirme ve uygulama aşamalarında dikkat edilmesi gereken unsurlardan bahsedilmektedir. Çalışmada, 3B sanal dünyalarda etkili bir öğrenme ortamı tasarımı sırasında kaçınılması gereken önemli faktörler tartıştıldığı için gelecek tasarımcılara rehber olması beklenmektedir.

FROM CLOUDS OF GAS AND DUST TO 3D VIRTUAL LEARNİNG ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) virtual worlds represent a new horizon when used as learning environments. However, three-dimensional learning environments need to be carefully developed in order to be effective achieving the specified goals. In this study, the analysis, design, development, imlementation and evaluation process to create a learning environment in the form of an island with the theme of winter sports within Second Life (a virtual world) is described in detail. Steps to be noted in the analysis, design, development and implemetation phases are mentioned. We expect that this study will be helpful to future designers, as we discuss several crucial factors to consider and pitfalls to avoid during the design of an effective learning environments in this 3D virtual world.
