[Air-L] Looking for Research on 3D Virtual Worlds

[Chris Greenhow]

Hi and Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate, 

I'm looking for research that addresses the following questions. Please send
me any references, articles, or ideas off-list and thank you for your time!

This request is specifically for those of you doing research in Second Life
or similar 3D multi-user virtual environments. I'm looking for
papers/articles that address the following: 

-- What are best practices for research in virtual worlds? What are some
strategies for beginners?

-- What are the ethical considerations of creating virtual content? 

--- What pedagogical approaches are central to the delivery of materials
within virtual worlds?


Thanks,
Christine Greenhow
