I have been involved in working in the field of adult education for the last 10 years. My particular interest has been in access, RPL and the relationship between `formal' and `everyday' knowledge. This has included drawing on experiential learning approaches as the basis for curriculum.

This current project draws on my interests and experiences in very real ways and enables me to work at the boundaries of higher education and community contexts.

My faculty appointment in the Department of Family and Child Ecology at Michigan State University (1977 to the present) has included scholarship through research, teaching and outreach. I have integrated these arenas and have had a wide variety of international professional experiences.

In addition to teaching responsibilities, I am presently a principal investigator for three research/outreach programs: 1) MSU Young Spartan Program, a complex collaborative outreach effort from the Office of the Provost, Michigan State University, with the Lansing School District, State of Michigan, and Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce; 2) Statewide Community Assets-based Training and Evalution Approach to Youth Development; 3) Human Capacity Building in Urban Townships in the Great Johannesburg Area, Gauteng, Republic of South Africa.

I am from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Currently, I am doing a masters course, MSc in Virtual Environments at the University of Salford. My graduation course was Languages (Portuguese and English), after that I did post-graduate courses in English Grammar, School Management and Supervision. I have worked as a teacher for Sao Paulo Council Authority. My interest is to learn, develop and implement tools for supporting teaching and learning in the way that individuals can apply these instruments for doing their tasks at school and also extend tools’ use to the daily life outside school.

The idea of using 3D for teaching and learning came from a good experience with the students, in which we use HTML as a tool for developing content. The use of this standard language brought about improvement in students' interest for developing content, social interactions among us, since we use our time learning English through HTML as well developing computer skills in a creative way eg. (preparing a company logo and slogan for a home page).

I think if we use VRML for teaching and learning, then we can develop our computer skills and find out more tools for teaching and learning inside and outside the classroom. VRML has dynamic properties such as travelling inside and around a 3D model and integrate multimedia audio and video files.

For example, following the concept of learning by experiencing, one can create a human body in three dimensions and synchronise the image with the sound of the heart beating. Furthermore, employing these standard languages for studying and developing content will prepare individuals for understanding the information society cost effectively. I like sports, arts, knowing new people and places, and improving my knowledge.

My main research area for the past fifteen+ years has been in the experiential learning process in the information technology area. I have facilitated the experiential learning process for both undergraduate and postgraduate project work. With a MSc in Computer Science(UNSW) and a PhD in Social Ecology (UWS, Hawkesbury) I have both the technical and the experiential backgrounds required in this domain. In my PhD I adopted a form of action research (more closely aligned to participative inquiry than traditional action research) to explore how to extend human potential in technical learning environments.
