<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My name is Elizabeth Lowry and I'm a Master's Student in
the
Computer Science program at Virginia Tech.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As part of my thesis, I'm going to be running a user
study
using OpenSim. I'll be packaging my setup, including the data
collection tools, in an OAR, and I'm hoping some of you will be willing
to reproduce my experiment using that OAR and let me compare your
results to mine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The idea of the experiment is to measure the effect of
levels
of spatial presentation in a virtual environment on that environment's
effectiveness. I'll be presenting two lessons -- one on the
photoelectric effect, a topic with a level of inherent spatial content,
and one on a yet-to-be determined topic that isn't inherently spatial,
like music or logic -- at three levels of spatial presentation -- as a
slide show given in the virtual world, as a set of posters arranged in
space (with the slides from the previously-mentioned slideshow as the
posters), and as a set of full-on 3D exhibits (presenting the same
information as the slides) taking advantage of a virtual environment's
ability to present 3D objects. Subjects will visit exactly one of the
topic/level-of-spatial-presentation combinations for a set period of
time and their learning will be measured by comparing their scores on
quizzes before and after visiting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The question I'm hoping to answer is: How much effort is
really worth it in the construction of a virtual learning environment?
And does this level of effort vary between topics that are inherently
spatial and ones that aren't? If the full-3D versions of the learning
environments in the study lead to the greatest improvements in quiz
scores, it'll indicate that the greater amount of effort required to
build such environments pays off in better learning.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Obviously, more work would need to be done in the
future,
whatever the results of this study -- but to get solid results on this
study, I'd like your help.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is anyone on this list in a position to run a user study
in
OpenSim with 30 or more participants by mid to late April?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Elizabeth Lowry</div>
