1 Teaching with Immersive Virtual Archaeology Brian M. Slator, Jeffrey T. Clark, James Landrum III, Aaron Bergstrom, Justin Hawley, Eunice Johnston, and Shawn Fisher Departments of Computer Science, Sociology/Anthropology, English North Dakota State University Fargo, ND 58105 Contact: slator@cs.ndsu.edu Presented by: Aaron Bergstrom Computer Visualization Manager NDSU, Archaeology Technologies Lab http://atl.ndsu.edu/

2 Participated in 3D endocast Developing the Digital Archive research Network for Anthropology Lab Resources: 3D Laser Digitizing Digital Photography Digital Video CAD/3D Modeling http://atl.ndsu.edu/ Archaeology Technologies Laboratory (ATL)

3 Era of Change: Like-A-Fishhook 1839 1845 1862 1950 1890 2001 1930 State Historical Society of North Dakota http://www.state.nd.us/hist/

4 Virtual Archaeologist a)exploration of a spatially oriented, authentic virtual world; b)practical, field-based decision making; c)critical thinking for scientific problem solving; d)and time-travel An immersive multi-user 3D virtual environment that faithfully reproduces an archeological site, Fort Berthold/Like-A-Fishhook Village (FB/LF), which supports:

5 Playing the Archaeology Game 1.Premise: site about to be “lost” 2.Students given “authentic” tools, resources, and Goals 3.Role-based learning of procedure - to “act like” and “think like” an archaeologist

6 WWWIC http://www.ndsu.edu/wwwic/ World Wide Web Instructional Committee Other WWWIC Projects Programming Land Blackwood Dollar Bay Geology Explorer Virtual Cell

7 Immersive Virtual Environments Similarities to Other WWWIC IVE’s Multiple interface(s) to the SAME simulation Hosted on the internet, browser accessible Multi-user, embedded objects, spatial navigation

8 Immersive Virtual Environments Characteristics Unique to the Virtual Archaeologist IVE Implemented support for “story points” (for embedded historical and/or fictional narrative) Support humanities student writing project Simulated environment using LambdaMOO (enCore version 3.0, UT Dallas, Haynes & Holmevik)
