Realization and Evaluation of an Information Morals Education Systemby Experience of an assailant and a victim by Virtual reality

Abstract

As a method of instruction of information morals education, Tamada and others proposes the method of instruction by three sorts of knowledge, and also supposes that the method called “feedback method” of making one's act examine from a victim's position is effective to the student of low information morals (Tamada et al.1987). In this research, the new teaching materials which combined a feedback method and virtual reality (VR) technology were developed, and the effect was verified. In order for the student of low information morals to make it specifically look back upon the act performed within VR from a victim's position, within VR, the subject's head shot was attached to the face of the avatar which serves as an assailant, and victim experience was carried out. As a result, before and after carrying out victim experience, improvement in the consciousness to information morals and reduction of the act contrary to information morals were seen.
