conducted to get in-depth understanding of its feasibility and insights for
improvement for the future. The analysis chapter will detail the survey
and the results.
6.7 Implementation of VDS 3
In this section the implementation procedure of the VDS 3 will be
presented. The implementation of the VDS 3 is classified into four
layers. These layers are: pedagogical layer, technological layer, socio-
cultural layer and behavioural layer. In each of these layers different
aspects of the VDS 3 were implemented. First, the main concepts will
be detailed with examples of application. The pedagogical issues will be
explained and the theories behind the VDS 3 will be highlighted.
6.7.1 Structure of the VDS 3
VDS 3 is a virtual environment project that facilitates the use of high
technological applications and effective learning methods to enhance
the student learning process and promote complex skills, creativity, and
collaboration. The function of the project is based on the utilisation of
technology as well as learning methods to promote creativity and
collaboration among students.
The project contained different layers that contain to the main concepts
and the grounding structure for the project. These layers are the
pedagogical layer, technological layer, behavioural layer, and ѕocio-
cultural layer respectively. Each layer contains the elements
corresponding to the concepts involved in the development of the VDS
3.
