Traditional Didactic Modes of Learning
• Lecture styles with a top-down approach • Information delivery is linear and static• Legitimates disciplinary discourses, knowledge & information • Problematic power relations between professor and student - hierarchies• Does not always allow for nor encourage constructive interaction between
students, and between students and instructors
![Page 4: Modding the Metaverse; The Pedagogy of Participation - AoIR 2007](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102823/547b199ab4af9f83428b4593/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Participatory Pedagogy
Content:
•Incorporating personal experiences, skills, knowledge and individual context
Process:
•More interactive and empowering pedagogical style of learning and knowledge construction inside and outside the classroom•Students take an active role in the learning process
![Page 5: Modding the Metaverse; The Pedagogy of Participation - AoIR 2007](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102823/547b199ab4af9f83428b4593/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Internet & Education
Web 2.0• Collective & interactive• Synchronous• Flat Web
– ie: Wikis, Blogs, Moodle etc
Web 3D• Incorporates Web 2.0 features• Self expression & self direction• Diverse ways of learning• Hands-on technical skill building• Three dimensional spaces• Transformation of personal experience
and researched content into a tangible visual form
• Virtual Worlds– ie: Second Life, Active Worlds,
Metaplace, Google Sketch up and more...

Why Participatory Pedagogy?
• Self directed learning can increase their sense of empowerment
• Using student’s own knowledge can improve the perceived relevance of subject material and therefore can improve their motivation
• Can allowing students to gain insight into their own value systems and improve their confidence
• Exercising reflexivity and contemplation can improve their level of ‘self-awareness’ skills generally
(Aldrich 2004)

Why Participatory Pedagogy?
• We are living in a time of emerging participatory culture, fluency in this culture is an asset
• Need to prepare students for work in the
information age
• ICT use among students is pervasive– mp3 players, cell phones, laptops, video games– Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr, Skype

Modding the Metaverse Workshops
• How can a group collaborate to modify or create their own learning space?
• What are the processes involved?• What are some of the factors that must be
considered?• How might the findings be beneficial to our students?

Modding the Metaverse Workshops
• Call for participants sent to potential students, SL educators & researchers lists
• 3 workshops: 2 discussions, 1 modding & building
Objectives:• Support small teams and large group work• Individual/reflexive tasks• Design and creation• Flexibility – can one environment facilitate all of these
things?

What we learned
• Exercise helped us think about how we might envision virtual learning spaces
• Collaborative modding and building is possible in SL• A design brief is only useful if participants adhere to it• Roles need to be well defined in the team• Need to have a clear concept of what the space will
be used for to best facilitate learning objectives
![Page 25: Modding the Metaverse; The Pedagogy of Participation - AoIR 2007](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102823/547b199ab4af9f83428b4593/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

What we learned
• Skill divides bring about challenges in participation in building and even discussing
• Circular designs emerged• Builds had no roof in many cases• Disagreement among participants as to whether
replicating first life classrooms was useful in virtual spaces
• Placement/style of screen/display/whiteboard device was important in most designs
