Learn how the InVEnTA tool uses advances in geospatial and visualisation technology to develop free-roaming interactive virtual environments. Environments may be created from (often freely available) datasets made by satellite UAV kite-based photography or handheld/smartphone cameras. This data forms the basis of virtual representations (of fictional and real environments) for teaching and learning and is combined with digital objects text multimedia attachments and environmental conditions (e.g. weather) to form an interactive virtual environment. The software facilitates two pedagogical approaches – one where students learn by exploring pre-made environments and another where students are assessed on the way they construct environments.
