Agenda
• Is the use of 3D avatars appropriate?• What are the competencies for teaching in a virtual
world?• What are the facilitation competencies needed?• How does one conduct a virtual world class exercise? • What does a student need to know to be competent
in a virtual world class setting?• Can you show me an example of a 3D virtual world

Why be a Character at All?
Research indicates that human social models influence behavior,
beliefs and attitudes.

![Page 22: Teaching in 3D: Tips, Ideas and Concepts](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54b90eef4a7959dc748b4620/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Avatar as Teacher
Research also indicates that learners perceive, interact socially with and are influenced by
anthropomorphic agents (avatars) even when their functionality and adaptability are limited.
Baylor, A. 2009 Promoting motivation with virtual agents and avatars: R ole of visual presence and appearance. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal B Society. 364, 3559–3565
![Page 23: Teaching in 3D: Tips, Ideas and Concepts](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54b90eef4a7959dc748b4620/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
An experience as an avatar can change a person's real life perceptions. In a study conducted by Yee and Bailenson (2006), it was found that negative stereotyping of the elderly was significantly reduced when participants were placed in avatars of old people compared with those participants placed in avatars of young people.

If learners watch an avatar that looks like them exercising & losing
weight, they will subsequently exercise more in the real world as
compared to a control group.

![Page 25: Teaching in 3D: Tips, Ideas and Concepts](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54b90eef4a7959dc748b4620/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Within 24 hours of watching an avatar like themselves run, learners were more
likely to run than watching an avatar not like them or watching an avatar like
them loitering .

People tend to conform to how their avatar appears regardless of how it is perceived by others. In one study by Yee and Bailenson (2007), participants with taller avatars behaved more confidently in a negotiation task than participants with shorter avatars; specifically, they were more willing to make unfair splits in negotiation tasks. In contrast, participants with shorter avatars were more willing to accept unfair offers than those who had taller avatars. Additionally, in subsequent research, Yee et. al. (2009) found that behavioral changes originating within a virtual environment can transfer to subsequent face-to-face interactions.
