Immersive Environment

The multi-user immersive virtual environment Second Life® has been used to teach radiology to third-year medical students during confinement due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. In general, the students, who are digital natives nowadays, have found it easy to adapt to the use of the 3D platform. Although there have been some technical limitations, both students and teachers involved have rated the use of Second Life® during the confinement very highly.

Virtual Interactions

Middleverse de Español (MdE) is an evolving platform for foreign language (FL) study, aligned to the goals of ACTFL’s National Standards and 2007 MLA report. The project simulates an immersive environment in a virtual 3-D space for the acquisition of translingual and transcultural competence in Spanish meant to support content-based and communicative classroom practices. This paper describes the design of MdE on Second Life as a dynamic environment of integrated technologies and its selection criteria, including the pedagogical principles guiding design and practices. Pedagogy is further explored conceptually in addressing language acquisition and cultural immersion within the broader communication’s system of language, images and symbols of the digitalized age. The initial pilot demonstrates that negotiations of meaning and negative feedback intrinsic to virtual interactions promote repair moves. Furthermore, students’ reconfiguring of conventionalized norms of participation results in increased exchanges in the classroom that stimulate student-centered discussions and meaningful collaborative work.

Different Types

Research into the norm of internality ( Beauvois & Dubois, 1988 ) has shown that the expression of internal causal explanations is socially valued in social judgment. However, the value attributed to different types of internal explanations (e.g., efforts vs. traits) is far from homogeneous. This study used the Weiner (1979 ) tridimensional model to clarify the factors explaining the social utility attached to internal versus external explanations. Three dimensions were manipulated: locus of causality, controllability, and stability. Participants (N = 180 students) read the explanations expressed by appliants during a job interview. They then described the applicants on the French version of the revised causal dimension scale and rated their future professional success. Results indicated that internal-controllable explanations were the most valued. In addition, perceived internal and external control of explanations were significant predictors of judgments.

La rivoluzione delle nuove tecnologie non ha l'aria di essere una delle tante svolte nella storia dell'umanità. È come se l'invenzione della ruota, del treno, dell'elettricità e del computer si fossero unificate come forza d'impatto e moltiplicate per un numero infinito di volte. Non stiamo parlando di una singola invenzione, ma di una catena di invenzioni a getto continuo. La velocità con cui vengono introdotte queste innovazioni impedisce un adattamento emotivo e cognitivo sul piano sia individuale che sociale. In particolare, le due variabili essenziali dell'esperienza umana (spazio e tempo) sembrano venire espulse. Questa rivoluzione impatta un immaginario collettivo dominato dalla bulimia di esperienze, beni e diritti che viene espanso all'ennesima potenza dalla performatività tecnologica. E tuttavia questa scena (vissuta in modo inconsapevole, a prezzo di nuovi disturbi psichici come la depressione che è diventata la malattia più diffusa nell'Occidente) è stata sospesa dal Covid, uno stop globale che ha consentito a tutti di vedere il brodo culturale in cui eravamo immersi e di nominare i problemi che ci attraversano. In particolare, la tenuta psichica dell'individuo può essere posta come un nodo politico che riguarda tutti. Una considerazione disincantata della scena può consentire di vedere il virtuale come veicolo non solo di manipolazione e bilocazione fuorviante in realtà aumentate e second life, ma anche come sviluppo della dimensione interiore. Proprio al culmine di una deriva antiumana si apre dunque uno spazio per far transitare nel nuovo mondo in arrivo la specificità e la complessità della nostra specie.
