Comments on Greenhow, Robelia, and Hughes: Technologies That Facilitate Generating Knowledge and Possibly Wisdom
Dede, Christopher J. (2009)Greenhow, Robelia, and Hughes (2009) argue that Web 2.0 media are well suited to enhancing the education research community’s purpose of generating and sharing knowledge. My response first articulates how a research ... -
EcoMOBILE – Designing for contextualized STEM learning using mobile technologies and augmented reality
Kamarainen, Amy marie; Metcalf, Shari; Grotzer, Tina Ann; Dede, Christopher J. (Routledge, 2016)The ubiquity of mobile technologies can unlock new opportunities for “anytime, anywhere” learning, and some argue that portable mobile platforms will inherently lead to more contextualized learning experiences. However, ... -
EcoMOBILE: Blending virtual and augmented realities for learning ecosystems science and complex causality
Dede, Christopher J.; Grotzer, Tina Ann; Kamarainen, Amy marie; Metcalf, Shari; Tutwiler, M (2012)We are studying whether ecosystems instruction can be more engaging and effective by combining immersive virtual environments and real ecosystems infused with digital resources. In prior research, we developed EcoMUVE, an ... -
EcoMOBILE: Integrating augmented reality and probeware with environmental education field trips
Kamarainen, Amy marie; Metcalf, Shari; Grotzer, Tina Ann; Browne, Allison; Mazzuca, Diana; Tutwiler, M. Shane; Dede, Christopher J. (Elsevier BV, 2013)Positioned in the context of situated learning theory, the EcoMOBILE project combines an augmented reality (AR) experience with use of environmental probeware during a field trip to a local pond environment. Activities ... -
EcoXPT: Designing for Deeper Learning through Experimentation in an Immersive Virtual Ecosystem
Dede, Christopher J.; Grotzer, Tina Ann; Kamarainen, Amy marie; Metcalf, Shari (International Forum of Educational Technology & Society, 2017)Young people now must compete in a global, knowledge-based, innovation-centered economy; they must acquire not just academic knowledge, but also character attributes such as intrinsic motivation, persistence, and flexibility. ... -
The Effects of Academically Productive Talk in Group Discourse in a Virtual Internship for Engineering
Hartung, Kyle John (2016-05-10)Skills associated with collaborative problem solving (CPS), especially in STEM-related disciplines, are increasingly regarded as essential for success in work and life. In the last decade, simulation-based games have ... -
Effects of Socio-Cognitive Conflicts on Group Cognition and Group Performance
Cheng, San Chye (2014-10-22)Socio-cognitive conflict is a mechanism that drives cognitive development/learning in collaborative learning. Such conflicts occur when individuals have different perspectives on the same problem. To adequately solve ... -
