Resumen de Virtual reality and learning: Where is the pedagogy?
The aim of this paper was to build upon Dalgarno and Lee's model or framework of learning in three-dimensional (3- D) virtual learning environments ( VLEs) and to extend their road map for further research in this area. The enhanced model shares the common goal with Dalgarno and Lee of identifying the learning benefits from using 3- D VLEs. The approach adopted here is to attempt a more pedagogical description using the concept of pedagogical immersion as derived from Mayes and Fowler's framework for mapping stages of learning onto types of learning environment. The paper adopts a 'design for learning' perspective and in doing so hopes the combined framework will prove useful to those designing learning activities in 3- D VLEs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
