Abstract

Improvements in immersive interactive technologies have made the creation of effective educational software running in a (three dimensional) Virtual Learning Space (VLS) feasible. Applications built for these environments may leverage the inherently visual and dynamic interactivity of the technology to accelerate learning outcomes; however, a set of design principles for effective VLS application development is needed to do this optimally. One of the most important design principles is assessment followed by “Immediate Feedback” with targeted instruction – a principle which is central to many instructional design approaches, such as Inquiry-based learning, and for which an adaptive control style implementation shows promise. In this study, a guideline for effective implementation of evidence based principles of learning and memory within VLS environments, using intelligent tutoring system (ITS), is developed using the ProMethEUs methodology for domain heuristic generation.
