Exploring 3-D Virtual Spaces: Engaging Student Communities Through Feedback and Exhibitions

Description

Imagine creating a digital avatar and then visiting a virtual art museum and interacting with other visitors in real time. This projects intends to integrate 3D Virtual Space into art courses to be able to do just that. The goal is to utilize 3D Virtual Spaces to strengthen students’ comprehension of the language of art criticism, help them become more constructive thinkers and collaborative team members, and allow them to experiment with cutting-edge technology applicable to their field.

“One of our goals is to transform the educational experience of our students by expanding how our feedback and iteration sessions are delivered through a variety of courses” said the three faculty members. “The use of 3-D Virtual Spaces provides the integration of multiple modes of delivery while leveraging online capabilities and enhanced and emerging digital learning options.”

Students will place their final artwork in the course’s virtual gallery space to create an exhibit, provide constructive feedback to one another, and integrate the feedback as they develop their ideas and skills.
