Project Description
The Virtual High School is an educational demonstration model built for the University of California, Santa Cruz's Virtual High School Feasibility Study led by Vice Chancellor Francisco Hernandez. Through a volunteer collaboration between Penny and Craig Twining of Active Art Design and Bonnie DeVarco, this realistic virtual environment features an office with office hours for real time communication and guidance, a Spanish Language Class with links and teleports to Spanish speaking worlds, a Chemistry Lab with an interactive Student WebQuest Wing, and a Geometry/Art Gallery with animations and artworks linked to more than 40 sites on the World Wide Web. Through the UC College Prep Initiative, the further development of the VHS will offer a compelling and content rich collaborative environment for synchronous learning sessions complete with interactive bots, full course modules and more.
