Project Director: Judy Vesel
Topics: Life Science, Physical Science, Biological Science, Integrated Science
Grade Levels: Elementary, Middle School, High School
This work is extending development of the 3D animated explanatory avatar to include delivery from a Mac platform, refinement of the Virtual Marble Roll, and its integration into the Catching Sunshine challenge. TERC will use the Authoring Tool developed by Vcom 3D to write and integrate avatar scripts into the challenge.
This project uses animated, lifelike 3D interactive online characters in performing student's tasks and interpreting actions in real time. The work will be embedded in the learning activities the Online Scienceathon challenges.
