Editor's Notes

  • #4 This allows me to give background and leads to problem statement Focus: learning experiences in 3D VWs/instructors using VWs to teach adult learners How do they use and implement this technology to design effective learning experiences? The focus is on the learning experience, not the tool. The tool facilitates the design of the learning experience. I want to learn how, and why, they turn to VWs to deliver instruction, what the challenges are, and what are the characteristics of successful VW implementations *not focused on VW platforms. Focused on their use to deliver learning experiences and teach adults
  • #9 University list in appendix of proposal, since then have located others (Dr. Rouskas, Dr. Sizemore)
