The building of communities outside of the traditional
brick-and-mortar base of a school or university is at a significant
point in time; virtual worlds bridge the gap between 2D web spaces
online and 3D physical spaces of the classroom, providing teachers
and students alike with opportunities to connect and collaborate in
ways that were previously unimaginable. Providing insight into this
new age of teaching, Using Virtual Worlds in Educational Settings
presents a collection of practical, evidence-based ideas that
illustrate the capacity for immersive virtual worlds to be
integrated successfully in higher education and school settings.
Examining research and stories from more than 1,000 students and
six faculty members who introduced virtual worlds into their
teaching and learning, this book contains practical examples of how
virtual worlds can be introduced and supported, as well as
reflections from faculty and students about their response to
virtual worlds. This research will help teachers understand how to
approach such a fundamental shift in pedagogy, how to liberate
themselves from teacher-focused instruction and how to help
students to develop their skills through collaboration. Outlining
how and why virtual worlds could be the shift in pedagogy that
teachers have been waiting for, Using Virtual Worlds in Educational
Settings is an accessible, practical resource for educators to
support their use of virtual worlds in teaching.
