Dear all,
Apologies in advance for any cross posting.
Please note the following call for paper submission for a Special issue

===============================================
LEARNING AND TEACHING IN IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL WORLDS
A special issue of ALT-J, Research in Learning Technology
Immersive virtual worlds (IVWs), such as Second Life, Active Worlds,
Croquet and Forterra and massive multi-player games (MMPGs), such as
EverQuest and World of Warcraft represent a paradigm shift in learning
technology, and an important challenge to the world of education. The
aim of this special issue of ALT-J is to develop and publish a timely
collection of papers representing current research, developments and
ideas in educational applications of IVWs and MMPGs. Of particular
interest are papers that go beyond descriptions of objects and
activities to build links between practice and pedagogy, and offer
conceptual, methodological and analytical rigour.
Full details of how to submit can be found at:
