Learning and Research in Virtual Worlds

By exploring virtual worlds as places of research and learning, the authors in this book demonstrate the power of these worlds to replicate and extend our arenas of research and learning. They show how we can use and understand the integration of these worlds in research and learning across a broad array of fields, from art to public planning, interrogating the virtual worlds they examine through a variety of methods. This book was originally published as a special issue of Learning, Media & Technology.
