Abstract: Many people of different ages now participate in immersive virtual environments, from Club Penguin and Webkins through World of Warcraft, America's Army, and Second Life. The 2010 National Educational Technology Plan identifies immersive media as among the most powerful emerging technologies for learning. This session describes our research in designing and studying immersive virtual worlds as curriculum (digital ecosystems) and summative assessments (science inquiry).

Forum 1: Overview of Fidelity of Implementation Issues for STEM Educators and Researchers; Wednesday, December 8th from 11:00 – 12:30 Central
Forum 2: Adaptation versus Fidelity of Implementation: How much is too much?; Tuesday, December 14th, 2010 from 11:00 – 12:30 Central

The Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education at the University of Chicago is convening a series of on-line forums on fidelity of implementation with a particular focus on STEM education programs. These forums build from an NSF supported project that resulted in a suite of instruments for measuring FOI of mathematics and science instructional materials and a series webinars that highlighted some of the challenging issues of FOI measurement.
