the one hundred and fifty-eighth episode of ventriloquy updates you on my evolving theoretical framework for learning in virtual worlds, which i have termed the Six Learnings.

this is a follow-up from my post last month, which - in turn - referenced episodes 154 and 155, when i first introduced the Six Learnings to you.

in this 3.5 MB download, i share how a recent paper published by my colleagues Professor David Hung and Associate Professor Victor Chen, has caused me to re-cast the framework. you can read the abstract of Learning within the worlds of reifications, selves, and phenomena: expanding on the thinking of Vygotsky and Popper, which was published in this month's issue of Learning Inquiry Vol 2 No 2, here.

my own paper - The Six Learnings of Second Life: a framework for designing curricular interventions in-world can be read as a PDF, and as an in-world e-book Heads-Up Display (HUD).

i've also put the presentation slides online, for your convenience :-)

[update: 7 September - i'm giving my presentation in-world at the Corrimal Lecture Hall at Rockcliffe X, at 0830 SLT (2330 SGT)

8 September - the recording of my presentation is available here]
