Diverse Avatars And Inclusive Narratives In Virtual Reality Biology Simulations, Amy L. Pate
The Emerging Learning Design Journal
Virtual reality lab simulations were reviewed using a process that encouraged the use of diverse avatars and inclusive environments. In a partnership between the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, ASU EdPlus, and Labster collaborated on a process for developing online content that was built with a cultural values framework for language, empathy, and diversity and guided the development of new simulations. This resulted in a proactive process for creating content that was more supportive of ASU’s diverse and online student population.

The Emerging Learning Design Journal
The world is grappling with education failing to meet industry demands for skills. We’re constantly striving to design for learning that is able to meet with the emerging societal and Industrial needs. Against this background what should the learning design strategy be?
Of particular relevance is Productive Failure (PF) a deeper learning design strategy, which runs counter to a traditional Direct Instruction methodology and demonstrates the affordances of experiencing and learning from failure. This brief elaborates on PF, select use cases and applications as well as key design features in operationalising PF.
