In this part of the video, impoverished students can visit an aquarium thanks to the help of iED and an online program. In this screenshot, the students are able to become a fish and swim around as it. The level of interactivity this program has is so much greater than that of an actual aquarium.
This is a virtual model of a Japanese house that is in the Boston Children's Museum. According to the video, the museum is able to hold more talks and lectures about the house online than in the actual museum. This allows visitors of the museum to visit the house again and people who are not close to visit.
This screenshot shows a student using a computer simulation of a pond to take scientific measures from it. Half the tasks you are able to do I have no understanding of, but the online environment looks very realistic and immersive.
This is my favorite part of the whole video. This is a huge school tournament that looks like a FPS, First Person Shooter, like Call of Duty, but it is somehow a game about math. I was legitimately surprised as to how awesome it looked. I immediately became jealous.
This is an assignment from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Collaborative Computing. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://immersiveeducation.org/@/bc/
