Celebrating 10 Years

What does it mean to teach and learn within and with virtual environments? It means that we as learners are no longer engaged in one way interactions, but dynamic interactions. Virtual environments have enabled us to be highly immersed in spaces that yield high social presence, constructivist learning, interactive problem solving, and are surprisingly still enjoyable. This keynote address focuses on teaching and learning in Multi-User Virtual Environments. Concrete examples are presented on how to engage learners in a virtual world webquest, entrepreneurship, community development and civic engagement. Other uses of virtual environments for e-learning are discussed.
