Enabling Idea Generation through Computer-Assisted Collaborative Learning
This article puts forward a three related case study
series, using a Virtual Reality Learning
Environment (VRLE) with a view to
supporting the development of students' ideation skills in conventional primary
and secondary education. Since this learning environment is fairly new it is necessary
to examine its educational uses and determine if
the new learning environment will meet teachers’ expectations.
Therefore, the overall goal for this research
was twofold: a) to explore the ways in which idea generation was developed
during students’ work in an enjoyable environment b) to assess the way VRLE affects students’ ability to generate new ideas and pass on knowledge. The
data collected was qualitative and the analysis was based on grounded theory
principles and an interpretive paradigm.
