Volume 11, Number 3 (2018):
Pedagogy – Taking Stock and Looking Forward (Part 1)
Issue Editors: Kenneth Y. T. Lim, National Institute of Education, Singapore and Cátia Ferreira, Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Portugal
2019 marks the tenth anniversary of a landmark issue of the Journal of Virtual Worlds Research, which was themed on ‘Pedagogy.’ Issue No. 1 in Vol. 2 of the journal was the fruition of a vision of the late Leslie Jarmon. Dr. Jarmon was a pioneer academic in the use of virtual worlds and immersive environments for learning.
This issue aims to document both the present and emerging state-of-the-art, covering the adoption, design, enaction, scaling and translation of immersive and/or mixed-reality environments for learning, and in other contexts of education.
