Kapp Notes: Comparing 2D and 3D Synchronous Learning

  • Karl Kapp has created a video demonstrating differences in approach to training in 2D and 3D environments. He starts with an example of what would be some pretty good 2D synchronous training, then shows what else can be done in a 3D environment like Second Life.

  • Terrific application of constructivist pedagogy to video games in education, focusing on games and simulations' ability to provide authentic context for learning.

  • Perhaps the most fundamental property of a constructivist learning environment is that it offers a context for student learning.


    Context-embedded learning has been a cornerstone of the constructivist movement since the early 1900’s. Now, nearly a century later, video games and simulations can offer new contexts for student learning that would not have been available to students in the past.

Literary Worlds Index

  • Educational virtual worlds based on literary settings like Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, Orwell's 1984, and Dicken's London. More settings are in development. The goals of each game vary by the setting.

IWorlds Simulations

  • A different take on simulations--this is a physical location with a Star Trek TNG style bridge. It uses immersive problem based learning to teach teamwork and leadership. This looks like it would be a lot of fun.

  • "There are a lot of terrible educational games out there, where you have to do something unfun, like solve five math problems, so you can do something fun, like play a game," said Ben Stokes, a games expert at the MacArthur Foundation.

    Instead, the experts are interested in the educational benefits of commercially available games that were not expressly designed for school use--simulation games like Zoo Tycoon, in which elementary school-age children can build virtual zoos by selecting animals, creating appropriate habitats, managing food budgets and even setting the prices of popcorn at the concession stands.
