Background• Early adopters focus on
– Replication (Winn, 2005)
• Next stage– Relationship between pedagogy and technology
(Savin-Baden & Ward 2008)
• Aim
– Identify and analyse pedagogy in action
– Design pedagogically informed learning experiences

This presentation...
• Outline emerging model
• Present initial implementation
– Second Life– 20 educators
• Experience of Second Life
– 5 groups
• Focus on pedagogical design of the learning experience
• Evaluation of implementation

Affordance
• Gibson (1979)– Relationship between organism and environment– Perception-action
• Kirschner (2002) Educational affordance– “Characteristics of an artefact that determine if
and how a particular learning behaviour could possibly be enacted within a given context”

Educational affordances of Second Life?
• Sense of self and presence resulting in immersion (Cross et al, 2007; Kemp & Livingstone, 2006)
• Socialising and collaborative learning (Cross et al,
2007; Minocha & Roberts, 2008)
• Construction of objects and environments
• Flexibility
• Persistent

Communal Constructivism (Holmes et al 2001)
• Active engagement in knowledge construction
• Interaction with the environment
• Active collaboration
• Publishing knowledge
• Technology integral
• Transfer of knowledge between groups
• Adaptive course

Data Sets
• Artefacts
• Chat logs
• Researcher’s Observations
• Semi-structured interview
![Page 16: Pedagogical Design of Learning Experiences Within Virtual Worlds Sleepy Littlething & Esox Graves Carina Girvan & Timothy Savage Centre for Research in.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102923/55165d68550346c6758b5e5c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Evaluation 1: Learners’ perceptions• Within-case themes– Successful group– Construction• Knowledge & books
• Cross-case themes– Internal group dynamics– Between group dynamics– Time

Outcomes
• Positive learning experience
• Affordances leveraged to meet design criteria
of pedagogy.
![Page 19: Pedagogical Design of Learning Experiences Within Virtual Worlds Sleepy Littlething & Esox Graves Carina Girvan & Timothy Savage Centre for Research in.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102923/55165d68550346c6758b5e5c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Future work
• Explore other pedagogies
• Leverage different combinations of affordances
• Develop mapping process
• Develop overall model of best practice
