The proposal seeks funding to develop an Internet-based, muti-user graphical worlds to support communal constructivist learning. In particular a muti-user math game would be implemented in a 3-D graphical environment. Students would be assessed on how and what they learn in these environments. In stage 2, the students would build 3D games. Students would be evaluated in terms of what they learn from this type of programming in terms of mathematical reasoning as well as knowledge of computer programming. Finally, the study will also examine how student learning is facilitated by on on-line community. The proposal also seeks to understand how on-line communities can support the learning that takes place as students develop the games and simulations. In summary, the research project explores two hypotheses; first that three dimensional multi-user virtual words on the Internet have a unique potential to help students learn about mathematics and computer science in an interdisciplinary, peer-supported constructivist setting; and second that community support for constructivist learning can make that learning scaleable and sustainable.

该提案寻求资金来开发一个基于互联网的多用户图形世界，以支持公共建构主义学习。特别是多用户数学游戏将在3d图形环境中实现。学生将被评估他们在这些环境中学习的方式和内容。在第二阶段，学生将制作3D游戏。学生将根据他们从这种类型的编程中学到的数学推理和计算机编程知识来评估。最后，该研究还将探讨在线社区如何促进学生的学习。该提案还试图了解在线社区如何支持学生在开发游戏和模拟时进行的学习。综上所述，该研究项目探讨了两个假设；首先，互联网上的三维多用户虚拟词具有独特的潜力，可以帮助学生在跨学科、同伴支持的建构主义环境中学习数学和计算机科学；其次，社区对建构主义学习的支持可以使这种学习可扩展和可持续。
