i am very pleased to share that Vol 5 No 2 of the Journal of Virtual Worlds Research - which is a special issue on the theme of 'Asian Perspectives' - has just been published.
this issue has been co-edited with my friends and fellow educators - Cho Young Hoan and Michael Vallance.
for your convenience, the issue is available as a 10 MB PDF, and as a Calameo document below.
i've also made available an ePub version; this has none of the tables nor figures, in the interest of file-size (it's a tidy 619k download).
it's a great way to have handy access on your iPad to the diverse range of solid educational research in the field - and if you need the original papers you can always download them from the links below:
happy reading :-)
