Hsiao, Indy Y. T.; Yang, Stephen J. H.; Chia-Jui, Chu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2015
French is the ninth most widely used language globally, but French-learning environments in Taiwan have been insufficient. Language acquisition is easier in a natural setting, and so such a setting should be available to language learners wherever possible. This study aimed to (1) create an authentic environment for learning French in Second Life…

Bravo, Javier; García-Magariño, Iván – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2015
Distance education started being limited in comparison to traditional education. Distance teachers and educational organizations have overcome most of these limits, but some other limits still remain as challenges. One of these challenges is to collaboratively learn concepts in an immersive way, similarly to the education "in situ".…
