Problem-based Learning in Virtual Interactive Educational Worlds for Psychology (PREVIEW-Psych) is a collaboration between University of Derby, Aston University, Coventry University and The Higher Education Academy Psychology Network. The project is funded by JISC.

We are transferring problem-based learning techniques and technologies from the PREVIEW project for the Psychology subject group. The project is developing Psychology scenarios and ‘intelligent avatar’ technology within the virtual world Second Life.

If you are an academic or technician wanting to find out more about how to use Second Life for teaching Psychology or a related subject please access our Quick Start page. Click the News link for updates.

Here is the main project site where it is possible to see the virtual family house. This is just part of the virtual build where students take part in problem-based learning for Psychology.

Here is the Information area on the project site. You can get here by installing Second Life and following this link. http://tinyurl.com/yf372yq
