There are now several implementations of multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) that have produced evidence of their educational validity. These implementations, however, do not make full use of the educational possibilities offered by MUVEs – namely the potential for students to learn through design and construct of artefacts within the virtual environment. This paper outlines a design-based research project that aims to implement and evaluate a MUVE that focuses on student design and construction of in-world artefacts. The discussion covers theoretical groundings, the challenges of construction and outlines a progression of activities that meet these challenges. An initial pilot study is described and reported.

Video of Professor James Paul Gee discussing the importance of situated learning, where images, actions, dialogues and experiences immerse you in this. Where you can marry words to worlds whereas verbal understanding in traditional education is worthless (to understand words you get more words or definititions). Gaming gives you a new tool that will let you surmise new possiblities so you can look at the environment in a new way. Every word is married to an action in a game: WOW, Sims2 or Yugioh. How do you give people a passion? Mentoring and to mentor others - knowledge is dispersible and distributed. Learning is your own responsibility and collaboration and help are essential to learning.
