Bellotti, Francesco; Berta, Riccardo; De Gloria, Alessandro; Primavera, Ludovica – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2010
Serious virtual worlds (SVWs) represent a great opportunity for learning and should embed a lot of high-quality contextualised information so that the player can take the most from his or her exploration of the environment. This requires defining new methodologies and tools for effective production. We have investigated this issue in implementing…

Gao, Fei; Putnam, Ralph T. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2009
Drawing on research literature on online discussion and on reading and learning from the text, we argue that research on learning from text has much to offer but has been largely absent in informing the design and study of online learning environments. We propose several key issues to be considered in research and development of online discussion,…
