The impact of 3-D based group interactions in an on-line problem-based learning environment

The purpose of this article is to present the results of a study conducted to investigate how the attributes of 3-D technology influence the group interactions toward problem solutions and how it impacts the instructional practice in on-line PBL. Results suggested that the attributes of 3-D technology, if used properly, would promote students' social presence and their metacognitive awareness.
