E08 Podcast: Virtual Worlds: Fad or Future?

Created by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on December 3, 2008

This forty-six minute podcast features a point/counterpoint session recorded at the EDUCAUSE 2008 Annual Conference. The presentation, "Virtual Worlds: Fad or Future?," features:

  • AJ Kelton, Director, Emerging Instructional Tech, College of Humanities & Social Sciences, Montclair State University
  • Cyprien P. Lomas, Director, Learning Centre, The University of British Columbia
  • Sarah Robbins-Bell, PhD Candidate, Ball State University

The education industry has grown weary of the "next big thing." Technology has promised much over the years, but have virtual worlds finally delivered on the promise? This session focuses on the major issues facing teaching and learning in a virtual environment. Streaming video of this session is also available.
