On-Line Learning Worlds For Computer Applications Instruction

The pace at which high speed, high powered computers are being produced mandates a new mindset from those empowered to produce the manpower for the next millennium. The past decade has quickly produced the majority of job opportunities that specify "computer experience required" for both business and industry, and educational environments. Purdue University and Ivy Tech State College Lafayette recognize that on-going computer instruction is a viable solution to some of the instructional goals defined as a result of manpower needs in our society. As such, this poster/demonstration presents the preliminary works of this collaborative effort to develop on-line learning worlds for teaching computer application skills that have the potential to increase learning, recall, retention, and ultimately transfer into both workplaces. Included in the demonstration will be preliminary data and analysis of student performance, overall learning, and comments/feedback from students participating in the learning worlds project.
