High-immersion virtual reality (VR) has recently gained popularity as a language learning tool. Many educators who were early adopters of Second Life have now started exploring whether VR can also offer a meaningful learning environment to their students. This session will provide an overview of what the research says about the affordances and efficacy of the use of VR for language learning. Attendees will also learn how Immerse leverages VR to provide authentic opportunities for learners’ to learn and practice language and see a demo of the platform.

The theme of the current MOOC is “Connecting in Virtual Worlds. Communities of Practice” There is a plethora of communities in virtual worlds promoting education and learning through connecting online via web technologies such as Second Life. The MOOC will focus on connecting online for collaborative learning and teaching around the world through virtual worlds like Second Life, Digiworldz, Kitely, Minecraft, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Augmented Reality (VR), Virtual Reality (VR), or OpenSim.
