Learning together and learning alone in Second Life (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Falconer, L., Frutos-Perez, M., Billingham, O., & Street, D. (2008, November). Learning together and learning alone in Second Life. Presented at ReLive 08, Open University, Milton Keynes, UK

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...
