Description

A web-based virtual expedition and laboratory environment designed by education, biology, and chemistry professionals for interdisciplinary inquiry into environmental change using authentic Baltic Sea research materials and data.

Components

  • ViBSE — Virtual Baltic Sea Explorer web-based inquiry learning environment: The Virtual Baltic Sea Explorer (ViBSE) is a web-based learning environment used in this study, described as "designed by professionals in education, biology, and chemistry to create a virtual expedition in a research vessel to study environmental changes in the Baltic Sea". It provides a virtual laboratory for experiments, information and material from an authentic research vessel, R/V Aranda, including interviews and an integrated biology–chemistry library, grounded in authentic marine biology data. Its main aim was to scaffold collaborative learning toward deeper understanding through shared problematizing across two disciplines. (Tarja Pietarinen · Tuire Palonen · Marja Vauras (2021))
