Although some compelling examples of educational software for handhelds exist, we believe that the potential of this platform are just being discovered. This paper reviews innovative applications for mobile computing for both education and entertainment purposes, and then proposes a framework for approaching handheld applications we call “augmented reality educational gaming.” We then describe our development process in creating a development platform for augmented reality games that draws from rapid prototyping, learner-centered software, and contemporary game design methodologies.
We provide a narrative case study of our development activities spread across five case studies with classrooms, and provide a design narrative explaining this development process and articulate an approach to designing educational software on emerging technology platforms.

Virtual Worlds Review. 2008 Metaverse Tour Video: The Social Virtual World'S A Stage ~ Stephen's Web ~ by Stephen Downes. Virtual world. The user accesses a computer-simulated world which presents perceptual stimuli to the user, who in turn can manipulate elements of the modeled world and thus experience a degree of telepresence.[6] Such modeled worlds and their rules may draw from the reality or fantasy worlds. Example rules are gravity, topography, locomotion, real-time actions, and communication. Communication between users can range from text, graphical icons, visual gesture, sound, and rarely, forms using touch, voice command, and balance senses.
Virtual worlds are not limited to games but, depending on the degree of immediacy presented, can encompass computer conferencing and text based chatrooms. Sometimes, emoticons or 'smilies' are available to show feeling or facial expression. History[edit] The concept of virtual worlds significantly predates computers. Among the earliest virtual worlds implemented by computers were virtual reality simulators, such as the work of Ivan Sutherland.

Back to List of papers Acumen: An Interactive Multimedia Simulation Based on Situated Learning Theory Peter Standen & Jan Herrington School of Management & University Learning Systems Edith Cowan University Abstract This paper describes the development and evaluation of a multimedia simulation for teaching research skills to business students. We describe the theoretical principles used in designing the simulation, particularly situated learning theory which claims a number of advantages for teaching that is 'situated' in the context of real world problems.
Our multimedia package can be related to a long tradition of teaching methods in business that attempt to put theoretical principles into life-like contexts, via case studies, experiential learning, internships, or real-world projects. Introduction Teachers of applied disciplines have always sought ways to make classroom learning more applicable to the world of professional practice.
