PURPOSES OF THE SIG
Applied Research in Virtual Environments for
Learning.
The purposes of the SIG are to, “steward a community of educators,
scholars, and practitioners dedicated toward research in and on
virtual environments. Using a variety of research methods, we
support a diverse approach to understanding the optimal use of
virtual worlds and environments for educational purposes. We're
interested in developing a comprehensive research agenda, intended
to encompass the breadth and scope of learning potentialities,
affordances, challenges, and shortcomings of immersive virtual
learning environments.”
