Learning together and learning alone in Second Life (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A common complaint about virtual worlds is that when one visits them there is no one there and nothing to do. Virtual worlds offer interesting potential for collaborative learning events, but it is less obvious how they can enhance individual learni...
