    Collaborative virtual environments for teaching physics
    (SPRINGER, 2007-01-01) Giraldo, F.; Rojas, Á.M.J.; Esteban, P.; Trefftz, H.; Giraldo, F.; Rojas, Á.M.J.; Esteban, P.; Trefftz, H.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Educación Matemática e Historia
    Eafit University created a Telepresence application for distance education. It supports bidirectional audio and video and a shared virtual environment that allows the instructor and students to manipulate virtual objects in a collaborative manner, thereby reinforcing the learning process. In this paper we report the experience of creating new contents and deploying the tool in a Physics course at Universidad del Quindío. The tool was improved an extended in order to include new functionality and make it easier for development teams to create new content. Teaching for Understanding was used as pedagogical framework for course creation and also as a guide to develop the interviews that were used to capture user's perceptions and to asses the improvements in the learning process. The results showed that the use of the tool had a positive impact on the students' understanding of the topics at hand. © 2007 Springer.

    Distance interaction in education processes using a Telepresence tool
    (SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN, 2010-01-01) Giraldo, F.; Jiménez, A.; Trefftz, Helmuth; Restrepo, J.; Esteban, Pedro Vicente; Giraldo, F.; Jiménez, A.; Trefftz, Helmuth; Restrepo, J.; Esteban, Pedro Vicente; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Educación Matemática e Historia
    Distance interaction among educational communities is becoming increasingly important. Courses and talks are shared among institutions and individuals who are located in different places. The Telepresence tool, developed by Eafit and Universidad del Quindío, permits course sharing among the institutions. Instructors from one institution can teach students of the other one, thereby sharing the positive features of each course. In this paper, we present the recent improvements of the Telepresence tool. We also report on the use of the tool in a Multi-Variable Calculus course, designed in accordance to the Teaching for Understanding (TFU) pedagogical framework. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
