EIC Research
EIC Research supports students and colleagues undertaking research degrees in learning innovation, including technology enhanced learning, who are supervised and/or mentored by members of the EIC team. We are also happy for researchers from anywhere in the world to follow us by subscribing to our RSS feeds.
Recent and current research projects being undertaken by students and EIC colleagues include:
- Investigating the experiences of students with positive and negative preconceptions of using a virtual world simulation of professional practise - (Billingham)
- Investigating student motivational orientation in an online educational simulation - (Billingham)
- Evaluation of summatively assessed accident investigation and risk assessment simulations in a virtual world - (Falconer)
- Applicability of virtual worlds to education for students who demonstrate high systemising/low empathising traits - (Falconer with PhD student Castle)
- Creating learning environments in virtual worlds to aid FE to HE transitions - (Falconer with PhD student Attallah)
- Application of extant philosophical models to virtual world experiences - (Falconer)
- Development of non-player characters (bots) in virtual worlds and online - (Frutos-Perez {awarded UWE teaching fellowship for this work})
