Avatar Scholars: One Life, Many Learning Worlds
My work in Virtual Environments began in 2006, exploring the educational potential of immersive virtual worlds at Technological University Dublin (formerly Dublin Institute of Technology), where I created and led the award-winning module Virtual Environments: Is One Life Enough? in Second Life. The module used avatar-based learning to foster collaboration, creativity, digital literacy and critical reflection on identity, community and technology.
