iVERG Navigator app for iPhone and iPad

iVERG Navigator is a multimodal portfolio of select images, a video and voice-overs promoting our research in VIRTUAL COLLABORATIVE SPACES at Future University Hakodate, Japan. The research examines how students in Japan and UK collaborate towards a better understanding of the challenges and possible solutions when dealing with disaster recovery such as Fukushima. The context for collaboration is set within a 3D virtual world with students programming LEGO robots to follow distinct circuits. The immersion affect of programming, constructing, collaborating and communicating is captured to determine task criteria of educational value. This interdisciplinary information science research incorporates computer science, cognitive science, the social sciences, communication and design. The Principal Investigator of this research is Dr. Michael Vallance. iVERG Chair is Dr. Stewart Martin, Hull University, UK. The Lead Programmer for this App is Stewart Tseng.
