2. Establishment of Virtual Lab Competence Centers in the Caucasian Countries Giovanni De Gasperis Introduction to Gamification Project description Project implementation Virtual Laboratories Prototypes Introduction to Gamification Project description Project implementation Virtual Laboratories Prototypes
3. Establishment of Virtual Lab Competence Centers in the Caucasian Countries Giovanni De Gasperis Introduction to Gamification Project description Project implementation Virtual Laboratories Prototypes What is Gamification? Maybe having fun while learning..?
4. Establishment of Virtual Lab Competence Centers in the Caucasian Countries Giovanni De Gasperis Introduction to Gamification Project description Project implementation Virtual Laboratories Prototypes What is Gamification? Our aim Make it REALISTIC and SCIENTIFIC valid, but not to replace real laboratories. TRAINING is the issue! Jump aboard the virtual reality (VR) technological train Give students more tools to learn Virtual physics and chemistry vs. animations: - state machine interaction model - physical game engine - user centered design methodology
5. Establishment of Virtual Lab Competence Centers in the Caucasian Countries Giovanni De Gasperis Introduction to Gamification Project description Project implementation Virtual Laboratories Prototypes Interaction model with state machines Follow the user in process learning and understanding
6. Establishment of Virtual Lab Competence Centers in the Caucasian Countries Giovanni De Gasperis Introduction to Gamification Project description Project implementation Virtual Laboratories Prototypes User Centered Design Involve the final user, the student, early in the design phase

10. Establishment of Virtual Lab Competence Centers in the Caucasian Countries Giovanni De Gasperis Introduction to Gamification Project description Project implementation Virtual Laboratories Prototypes EMICVL Tempus Project Establishment of Multidisciplinary Innovative Centres for the Development of Virtual Laboratories (MICVL) in Biology and Medicine Main Objectives OB1: To establish Multidisciplinary Innovative Centres for the Development of Virtual Laboratories in Biology and Medicine (MICVL) in the each participating Eastern Neighboring Area (ENA) University. OB2: To create a Virtual Medical Microbiology Laboratory (VMML), as a pilot product for the established MICVL. OB3: To develop an efficient optimal scheme of VMML commercialization and advertising. OB4: To disseminate the project outcomes applying strategies of both internal and external dissemination.
