This book argues that setting up learning in 3D virtual worlds requires a transformative approach. The advice given in this book comes from real world implementers of virtual world learning. The models presented here show how to transform your thinking in 3D spaces and achieving your organizational learning goals while motivating your learners. The practical articles and lesson plans come from those pioneers who have used virtual worlds to learn, teach and support their learners with in-world presence. Transforming starts with recognizing virtual worlds as a place, and then using the space to plan in 3D, design real-time and implement a 'virtual biodome effect' for continuous learning. It is our hope the book inspires current educational institutions to think about creating persistent, scalable communities that thrive on communication, global collaboration and sustainable interactivity. The results are the same for K-12, community college, university, industry and lifelong learners. It's not just about being in a virtual world, it's about doing something engaging there to educate and entertain the work force of the interconnected internet.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 522gContributor: Charles Wankel (Edited by), Randy Hinrichs (Edited by), Charles Wankel (Series edited by)Author: Charles WankelGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Children's Learning & EducationBook Series: Cutting-edge Technologies in Higher EducationRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
