Formative design of a virtual learning environment.
Current technology for 3D visualization, modeling and interaction allows the construction of attractive virtual environments for study of anatomy, surgery and other biomedical fields. The formative methodology for designing such environments is uncharted, but necessary before committing to large scale development. We present one such methodology undertaken during the design of a learning environment for biology for high school and middle school students. We expect to extend this design methodology to the development of environments for the teaching of medical subjects.
