Invitation to submit a “Guided Tour” of an educational sim.
Do you have a favorite educational sim? A treasure that stands out as an excellent example of how to use a virtual environment as a learning and teaching tool? We are looking for your reviews!
The Journal of Virtual Worlds and Education, a peer review journal, will publish its premier issue in Spring 2010. Along with the research articles we have already received, we will be featuring a less formal “Sim Review” section. These articles are not subject to peer review, and will be available on our website and/or in print. Articles should explore the particular space (or build) in terms of educational value, benefit (or not) over traditional methods of presentation to students, or unique use of environment.
Guidelines:
Articles may be up to 1,000 words and should include photos and/or video to support the article.
Site location (slurl) is required
Papers are to be submitted by email as a Word (.doc) document or Rich Text Format (.rtf).
Photos may be submitted by email as .jpg or .png files.
Video may be posted to youtube, tagged jvwe, and a link provided.
Deadline: March 20, 2010
