“…The Rembrandt Project presents an excellent case study of this dilemma: as an educational website that intersects Rembrandt's artwork with social studies curriculum, Bette Schneiderman (2008) promises to deliver a user experience to teachers and students that not only showcases "a new kind of environment" for learning (p. 46), but that also teaches twenty-first century visual literacy skills (p. 44). While users can access Rembrandt's artwork on the website, students are given few opportunities to discuss and interact with the works with their teachers and peers on the site itself, a feature Schneiderman states is an essential part of the project (p. 47).…”

This article considers the changing learning practices of today’s digital youth, the Net Generation, and the use of digital technologies to create collaborative and interactive learning spaces to meet their needs. Specifically, the author details the creation of SD62’s Online Library website, a project designed to explore the impact of e-reading on digital age youth in the classroom. Through the concepts of connectivity, interactivity, and accessibility, it is argued that SD62’s Online Library highlights alternate approaches to online learning and provides a foundation for better integration of Web 2.0 technology into learning environments.

“…One possible solution to the online experiential environment is the multi-user virtual environment (MUVE), such as Second Life. Second Life provides a rich 3-D environment in which the students can collaborate with each other and where course designers are free from the bonds of the traditional classroom setting (Schneiderman, 2008). Course content can be incorporated into existing simulations for role-play or created for specific subject matter such as geography (DeMers, 2008).…”

Second Life is increasingly being used as a venue for education, especially for delivery of online instruction where social presence and community building are essential components. Despite its robust 3-D modeling tools and powerful scripting language, many educational uses of Second Life are limited to passive forms of content delivery that often mimic some variety of Victorian style lecture setting. This article demonstrates a series of exercises designed around a more active learning model for my geography courses based on Kolb’s (2005) theory of experiential learning. Active class exercises encourage hands-on interaction with components of the virtual world, but are linked explicitly to real subject matter content. By providing fun pre-exercise training and promoting learning by discovery, the exercises are designed to encourage the four fundamental components of the experiential learning environment: involvement, reflection, analysis, and problem solving. Beyond providing an excellent educational environment, such approaches can act as surrogates for real-world experiences that are either impossible or logistically problematic.
