Abstract

The "Learning by Doing" model delivers content in context to an environment and specific situation that encourages student application and practice.  With distance learning, it is often difficult to provide these types of experiences using standard instructional approaches and tools.

Digitec Interactive has worked with Florida Virtual School, Prentice Hall, Junior Achievement, and the North Carolina Community College System, to create dynamic virtual learning objects.  These VLO projects have ranged from immersive game-based learning, to simulations, to complete 3-D learning environments.

This session will demonstrate the Digitec process for designing Virtual Learning Objects, provide demonstrations and share best practices.
