A Web-Centric Database System for building Interactive 3 D Constructivist Learning Environments

Constructivist learning theory postulates that an individual constructs their unique understanding of the world by experiencing, evaluating and incorporating their interpretations into their personal world view. With advances in visual and interactive technologies such as 3-D interactive computer environments, the process of knowledge construction and meaning making from a visual, auditory and kinesthetic perspective can be more fully explored. By creating their own environments, students can develop their own set of objects, relationships and behaviors that are meaningful to them, and that can be shared and experienced by others. By building virtual environments (VEs), students are able to build their own intellectual structures by participating actively and collaboratively. V.O.L.U.M.E. is an acronym for Virtual Object Library Universal Management Environment. This paper describes the constructivist theory in education, leading to the design and construction of V.O.L.U.M.E., a web-centric 3D objects database system. V.O.L.U.M.E allows students to shorten the development time for building VEs by using the clip-art concept. Same case studies and examples are shown.
