The aim of this project is to understand how innovative multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) can be designed and used in Australian schools to enhance the learning of important scientific knowledge and inquiry skills. Working closely with teachers in secondary science classes, researchers will investigate ways in which the features of intelligent agents in educational MUVEs enable innovative pedagogical approaches that have the potential to enhance learning in secondary science classes. In addition, this project will develop science inquiry-based curriculum modules employing MUVEs that run on computers being distributed as part of the national Digital Education Revolution initiative.

该项目的目的是了解如何创新的多用户虚拟环境（MUVEs）可以在澳大利亚的学校设计和使用，以提高重要的科学知识和探究技能的学习。研究人员将与中学科学课的教师密切合作，研究教育MUVEs中智能代理的功能如何实现创新的教学方法，这些方法有可能增强中学科学课的学习。此外，该项目将开发基于科学探究的课程模块，使用在作为国家数字教育革命倡议的一部分分发的计算机上运行的MUVE。
