C-VIBE Project

• The Context Addressed
• Modeling organizational dynamics to support
• effective learning in hard, highly relevant
  domains such as Managing Change/Innovation in
  Organizations
• Designing effective Experiential Learning
  Systems
• (advanced UI/interaction design and evaluation)

OD Simulations Different Scenarios
Diads/Pairs Here users can experience and test
their effectiveness in one-to-one interactions
with a (virtual or human) character. Such
interactions can take place in different
contexts, such as salary negotiation, project
reporting, performance reviews, feedback
sessions, etc. Scenario can include situations
helping the user to address specific attitudes
(defensiveness, emotions, etc.) to make such
one-to-one interactions more productive.   Small
Groups Here users can experience and test their
effectiveness in managing the dynamics of a set
of (virtual or human) characters in a team
setting. Such interactions can take place in
different contexts, such as regular staff
meetings, workshops, decision making sessions,
etc. Scenarios can be made particularly
challenging by modelling different forms of
dysfunctional behavior in some of the simulated
team members, to trigger the users reaction and
intervention.   Larger Groups/Organizations/Commun
ities Here users can experience and test their
effectiveness in trying to have an impact in a
organizational context populated by (virtual or
human) characters displaying different behaviors
and attitutes. What is modelled in this case is
the process of an organizational intervention
such as the introduction of different types of
innovations (managerial, technical, cultural) in
a company. Here again, scenarios can be made
particularly challenging by modelling different
forms of dysfunctional behavior in organizations,
to trigger the users reactions and interventions.

Presentation Objectives

• Present and discuss research ongoing at CALT in
  the field of Advanced Experiential Learning
  Systems
• Establish links with researchers designing and
  evaluating distributed 3D, avatar-based
• experiential learning systems
• Establish links with researchers interested in
  the design and evaluation of OD Simulation (e.g.
  modeling dysfunctional situations in a learning
  setting/classroom)
