A study of learning and motivation in a new media enriched environment for middle school science (2011, result): “…of Alien Rescue as a new media enhanced PBL environment by showing a positive impact on sixth graders’ science learning (Liu and Bera 2005; Liu et al. 2004, 2006), and is consistent with the encouraging results from other new media infused learning environments (Barab et al. 2005; Ketelhut 2007).”
Integrating Learning, Problem Solving, and Engagement in Narrative-Centered Learning Environments (2011, background): “Multi-user virtual environments such as Quest Atlantis (Barab et al., 2007) and River City (Ketelhut, 2007) use rich narrative settings to contextualize inquiry-based science learning scenarios with strong social and collaborative elements.”
Studying technology-based strategies for enhancing motivation in mathematics (2014, background): “Ketelhut and colleagues (Ketelhut, 2007; Ketelhut, Nelson, Clarke, & Dede, 2010) found that students’ self-efficacy for scientific inquiry before using a Multi-User Virtual Environment (MUVE) called River City was related to their behaviors within the virtual world.”
Scientific Habits of Mind in Virtual Worlds (2008, background): “City (e.g., Ketelhut 2007; Ketelhut et al. 2007; Nelson et al. 2007) and Indiana University-Bloomington’s Quest Atlantis (e.g., Barab et al. 2005; Barab et al. 2007) have begun to tackle the complexities of designing MMOs for science learning, offering proof of concept of the argument presented ab”
Virtual laboratories for education in science, technology, and engineering: A review (2016, background): “The educational purpose of virtual environments (Dieterle & Clarke, 2009; Ketelhut, 2007) has become a promising area of research, enriching the methods of teaching and learning.”
Educational virtual environments: A ten-year review of empirical research (1999-2009) (2011, background): “…inside the virtual environment for knowledge construction is exploited in all the studies that exploit MUVEs (Barab et al., 2007; Di Blas & Poggi, 2007; Holmes, 2007; Ketelhut, 2007; Lim et al., 2006; Nelson, 2007; Nelson & Ketelhut, 2008, Sardone & Devlin-Scherer, 2008; Tuzun et al., 2009).”
