What are the realities and possibilities of utilizing on-line
virtual worlds as teaching tools for specific literary works?
Through engaging and surprising stories from classrooms where
virtual worlds are in use, this book invites readers to understand
and participate in this emerging and valuable pedagogy. It examines
the experience of high school and college literature teachers
involved in a pioneering project to develop virtual worlds for
literary study, detailing how they created, utilized, and
researched different immersive and interactive virtual reality
environments to support the teaching of a wide range of literary
works. Readers see how students role-play as literary characters,
extending and altering character conduct in purposeful ways ,and
how they explore on-line, interactive literature maps, museums,
archives, and game worlds to analyze the impact of historical and
cultural setting, language, and dialogue on literary characters and
events. This book breaks exciting ground, offering insights,
pedagogical suggestions, and ways for readers to consider the
future of this innovative approach to teaching literary texts.
