Handbook of Research on Collaborative Teaching Practice in Virtual Learning Environments

Researchers in education, education technology, and computers introduce educators to the use of virtual worlds for teaching and learning, and lead them through a number of experiences and the conclusions that can be drawn from them. They cover an integrated methodological approach: the meaning of virtual worlds and their relation with the physical world from a learning point of view, methodological guidance and best practices for teacher reflexivity and professionalism, beyond the screens: self-knowledge through the metaphor of the avatar, the value of the learning community and its interpersonal relationships, and a collection of sound experiences and implemented projects.
