The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) has published a report examining the use of virtual worlds in education.
Available to download from the JISC website, the report helps practitioners to identify appropriate virtual worlds to suit their learning context. It also includes an overview of virtual worlds, and how learners create learning experiences for themselves by adopting a more exploratory mode of learning.
The report aims to provide a context for learning practitioners and policy makers, aiding their understanding of virtual worlds and how they can be selected and used in tertiary education. It also aims to highlight how learners, through greater empowerment, may play a different and enriched role in the process of forming collaborative learning experiences and engaging in activities which may support their own learning and meta-reflection.
