Design for Learning in Virtual Worlds, the first book focused specifically on how to design virtual worlds for educational purposes, explores:
- the history and evolution of virtual worlds
- the theories behind the use of virtual worlds for learning
- the design of curricula in virtual worlds
- design guidelines for elements experienced in virtual worlds that support learning
- design guidelines for learning quests and activities in virtual worlds.
