The paper proposes that the grand narrative of educational policy statements lack clear guidelines on the desired Information and Communications Technology (ICT) integration. Also, a review of the academic literature fails to provide consistent strategies for institutions and practitioners determined to adopt ICT in an informed way. This paper therefore develops and applies the notion of informed use of ICT

There is no consensus regarding a common set of metrics for robot task complexity in associated human-robot interactions. This paper is an attempt to address this issue by proposing a new metric so that the educational potential when using robots can be further developed. Tasks in which students in Japan and UK interact in a 3D virtual space to collaboratively program robots to navigate mazes have resulted in quantitative data of immersion, Circuit Task Complexity and Robot Task Complexity. The data has subsequently been collated to create a proposed new metric for tasks involving robots, which we have termed Task Fidelity. The paper proposes that Task Fidelity is a quantitative measure of a set robot task in relation to a learner’s solution. By quantifying Task Fidelity educators utilizing robots in schools and in Higher Education will be able to provide tasks commensurate with the expected successful outcomes achieved by the learners.

The absence of robots to assist with the repair efforts in the immediate aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant disaster of March 2011 revealed much about Japan's lack of preparedness for nuclear accidents. The Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission highlighted insufficient knowledge and training at the plant, with residents being left confused by the conflicting information regarding the dangers of the effects of the reactor explosions. The research summarized in this paper examines how students in Japan and UK collaborate towards the development of a better understanding of the challenges and possible solutions when dealing with disaster recovery such as Fukushima. The context for collaboration is set within a 3D virtual space and Fukushima simulation where students program LEGO robots to follow distinct circuits. The international collaboration by students as non-experts has highlighted the benefits and challenges posed when engaged in constru...

This is the first phase of a longer research project involving international collaboration and communication to develop much needed metrics for informed, meaningful and effective educational practices within virtual worlds. This workshop presentation demonstrates strategies for collaboration using LEGO robots collaboratively constructed and programmed by Japanese students, supported by UK researchers, using virtual technologies.
