Experlearn -- Experiential Learning in the Virtual World
About Experlearn	English (USA)
Welcome to the Experiential Learning in Virtual Worlds interdisciplinary research and publications project email discussion group. The advent of Information and Communication Technologies has changed how we work, teach, learn, and relate to each other. The idea of a virtual world encompasses online communities, communities of inquiry, formal teaching and learning, and horror and fantasy games. The experiences gained in such virtual worlds, whether high or low tech, impact who we are in the analog world (and vice versa): Who am I? How do we relate to each other? What is my role? How can we be productive as a team? What is mortality? How do we resolve conflict? These questions are addressed, to some degree, through the experiences we have in virtual worlds. What are we learning through those experiences? How can we perform better in both worlds? The aim of this project is to examine formal and informal learning in virtual worlds in an attempt to critique both its essential characteristics and its future possibilities.
