Rutherford Room

Using virtual worlds for the online teaching of a second language

This session will demonstrate the work done using the open-source Project Wonderland platform to create an online virtual world to support language-learning activities. A number of scenarios will be demonstrated and the features available within the Project Wonderland toolset will be highlighted. This will include issues around deploying virtual world services within your own institution.

Helping you escape from ineffective and inefficient assessment: The role of technology

This workshop will demonstrate how ESCAPE engaged partner Schools and show the benefits accrued in the use of technology to improve the educational effectiveness and the resource efficiency of the assessment activity. It will showcase the project's engagement approach (Appreciate Inquiry) and the ESCAPE toolkit.

Towards PowerPoint 2.0

Examples using the CREW virutal research environment

Collaborative Research Events on the Web (CREW) creates a framework for researches that integrates a video conferencing environment with event data harvesting. Results from a multi-site mathematics post-graduate lecture series, as well as the MIMAS Intute data harvesting process will be demonstrated. Automated semantic annotation has been produced for 4000+ events and 530+ hours of seminars.
