"De er jo her fysisk. Da kan de jo bare snakke med hverandre." : En kvalitativ studie av hvilke faktorer som påvirker samfunnsfaglæreres tilrettelegg…
2020
Master's thesis in Multimedia and educational technology (MM500) Dette forskningsprosjektet har hatt som formål å undersøke hvilke faktorer som påvirker lærere på ungdomstrinnet når de planlegger for elevenes bruk av digitale verktøy til samarbeid og kommunikasjon. Forskningsspørsmålene har dreid seg om lærernes begrunnelser for bruk av digitale verktøy, hva de forstår med den grunnleggende ferdigheten «å kunne bruke digitale verktøy», samt i hvilken grad de legger vekt på at elevene skal samhandle og kommunisere ved hjelp av digitale verktøy. Det ble valgt et fenomenologisk utgangpunkt og en kvalitativ tilnærming. Grunnen til det var at det var lærernes meninger som skulle undersøkes. Det …
Using Course Movie Trailers to Affect Intrinsic Motivation
2019
Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2019 This master’s thesis investigates the connection between movie trailer emotions, suchas curiosity, inspiration, interest, and excitement and motivation in order to examine ifa course movie trailer can be utilized to affect students’ intrinsic motivation. Based onexisting theory and research in the field we hypothesised that: "Students who watch acourse movie trailer as a course introduction, will maintain their intrinsic motivationbetter over time, compared to students who attend a traditional course introduction." Totest this hypothesis, we created a course movie trailer in collaboration with the teacher…
Using Mobile Devices as a Supportive Tool to Engage and Interest Young Students in e-Health
2019
Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2019 This thesis explores if mobile devices could be used as a supportive elementto engage and interest young students in e-health by developing a prototypeto handle simulations of e-health scenarios in a serious game setting. Theprototype was to be used as a supportive tool for the research projectHighSchool Students as Co-researchers in eHealth. An iterative design processwas deployed to develop the prototype, going through multiple steps periteration, focusing on design and development, testing, and evaluation. Theresults from all of the testing were examined, and compared with the researchquestions regardi…
Design of a VR application for pilots as a complementary tool for procedure training of Abnormal Operations
2021
Master's thesis in Multimedia and educational technology (MM506) The aviation industry has been amongst the early adopters of VR for educational purposes, even since the very beginning of VR’s technology establishment and throughout its further development. Flight simulators are invaluable as they let pilots and instructors replicate any situation for learning full control over the plane and improve situational awareness without paying the price of life-safety if using an actual aircraft. Abnormal operations and their procedures are a key subject of safety training, where pilots have to understand and memorize particular orders of actions in order to solve a dangerous situation on board. A …
VR formidling av en kunstnerisk opplevelse : Dette prosjektet er en interaktiv kunstinstallasjon laget i VR for Sørlandets Kunstmuseum
2021
Master's thesis in Multimedia and educational technology (MM506) I denne masteroppgaven har vi laget en VR-simulering for Sørlandets Kunstmuseum i Kristiansand. Ønsket med denne formidlingen var å vekke kunstinteressen hos publikum og undersøke om dette kan være et medium som kan bidra til økt museumsbesøk. Prosjektet har tatt utgangspunkt i fire verk som er malt av den norske kunstneren Reidar Aulie. Det har blitt utført en metodetriangulering brukeranalyse med VR-simuleringen og tradisjonell kunst, som har vært med på å dra sammenligninger mellom de to ulikeformidlingene. Dette har vært med på å bekrefte eller avkrefte vår hypotese; Bruk av VR i formidling av kunst vil bidra til større in…
Investigating Motion Sickness in Racing Simulators using Virtual Reality and a Motion Platform
2021
Master's thesis in Multimedia and educational technology (MM506) Motion sickness has been a downside of virtual reality since its beginning. According to the "Sensory conflict" theory, simulation sickness and cybersickness often occurs due to the feeling of self-motion. This thesis aimed to investigate if a motion platform could mitigate simulation sickness. By using commercial available motion platform and virtual reality headset, the experiment had three conditions, one without any added motion, one with motion and the last with increased motion. Participants were put in a complete racing set to drive an Edge 6D motion simulator in Asseto Corsa. The participants drove a high-speed car for…
Monsoon onset over Sudan-Sahel: Simulation by the regional scale model MM5.
2006
[1] The Mesoscale Model MM5 is used to study the regional features of the West African Monsoon onset. In order to increase the results, simulations are carried out for eight consecutive seasons (March to September) of the years 1994 to 2001. The results show that the model can reproduce the dynamical features of the monsoon in a reasonably good manner but the seasonal cycle seems enhanced. It is hypothesized that overestimated rainfall amounts could be related to a poor representation of the land surface characteristics. Nevertheless, the mean simulated monsoon onset dates are similar to those find in the CMAP data set. The onset is characterized by an apparent increase in zonal flow that c…
Educational Games for eHealth : Using Games as a Tool to Teach Disease Precautions
2021
Master's thesis in Multimedia and educational technology (MM506) This master thesis investigated how an educational game could affect the ability to remember infectious disease precautions, guidelines, and hygiene rules over time in students and young adults in Norway. It also compared the ability to remember and implement these precautions taught in an educational game to the digital course “Training in Protective Measures” at the University of Agder. A high-fidelity digital prototype of an educational game was created for the purpose of this thesis project, with learning materials based on the teachings in the course. Qualitative research methods have been used for the evaluation of the p…
