In virtual worlds, how can learning continue when the teacher is not there? In this webinar, the author shares an emergent instructional

Using a virtual design-based research approach (VDBR), a series of cycles in the design of virtual world space and theory development are shared, drawing upon findings from web-based visual tracking data.

Intended audience: educators, virtual world designers, instructional designers, researchers, anyone interested in emerging forms of data
collection and analysis in virtual worlds
