Virtual Worlds

Creating Active Learning Spaces in Virtual Worlds, the Law and other Social Sciences

Virtual reality can advance educational practices, as creating active learning spaces in virtual worlds offers a more natural way to promote interdisciplinary studies that integrate play to engage students (Lansiquot, 2015, 2012; Lansiquot, Cabo, & Cunningham, 2016; Lansiquot & Cunningham, 2016; Lansiquot, Liou-Mark, & Blake, 2015). Role-play can facilitate engagement in interdisciplinary courses for technology students. this topic will detail how role-playing in virtual worlds can be used effectively to support interdisciplinary studies and place-based learning, extending learning in undergraduate urban technology classrooms.[1]
