Analysis

What are you tying to teach? What is best taught in a 3D environment? Why choose a 3D world over another tool? What tasks might be effectively taught in a 3D world?

Analysis

Affective Domain (emotion) Stress Uncertainty/Unknown Fear

Requires Group Coordination Requires Real-Time Interaction Accomplishing Tasks Under Pressure Group and Individual Performance Rehearsal is Potentially Dangerous or Costly High Degree of Realism for Event

Analysis

People-to-People Interaction People Make Bad Decisions People Get Mad People Say/Do Stupid Things Pressure Can Dull the Senses Real-Time Interactions Add Pressure

Examples

Emergency Room Team Team Selling Combat First Responders Activities Compliance Activities Event Planning/Coordination Multiple Scenarios Security (Building, Ports)

Design

World Where Does Event Take Place? How Realistic? What Needs to be Created? What Objects will be Manipulated? Can Items be Bought/Created?

Design

Instructional Event What Happens First? How Do Learners Interact (Voice/Text)? Where Do You Want Event to Go? What are the Desired Learning Outcomes? Do You Add Pressure Elements (time, score)? How Realistic Do You Want Actions?

Design

Activities What Do Learners Do? How Do They Receive Instructions? How Do They Know What to Do? How are the Learners Going to be Observed? Do You Adversely Impact Health? How Will You Score Success? How Explicit are Your Instructions?

Design Debriefing

Who Conducts Debriefing? What Will be the Focus? How Does Instructor Observe? Is it Provided in a Written Format?

Develop

Storyboard 3D World? What Elements Go into World? Instructions

How Do the Learners Know What to Do? Are Instructions Text or Audio-Based? Does World “talk” to Learners?
