Wisdom of virtual worlds and augmented reality
A group of Finnish experts are developping a practical open guide for those who are interested in using virtual worlds and augmented reality technologies.
The wiki-book "Wisdom of virtual worlds and augmented reality" (only available in Finish), tries to answer common questions such as “how can we get started on virtual worlds and augmented reality?” and “how should they be used?” The book aims to highlight the different perspectives and applications of these technologies, in learning environments, in organisations and even as business and marketing tools..

ELVW 2013: Experiential Learning in Virtual Worlds Conference 2013
Interest in virtual worlds and their application to learning have increased significantly in recent years. They play an increasingly important role for people in both social and work-based contexts, and they challenge many of our assumptions about how we work, teach, learn, and relate to each other.
There are many different types of virtual worlds and they are used for a multiplicity of purposes including gaming, play, social networking, learning and development, work, and also business. The experiences gained in virtual worlds influence who we are in the physical world, and vice versa. What are we learning through those experiences and how transferable is that learning from one domain to another?
The main aims of this conference are to increase our understanding of experiential learning in virtual worlds, both formal and informal, to share experience and best practice, and to debate future possibilities for learning in virtual worlds. We believe the conference will be of interest to educators, researchers, students, independent scholars, trainers, virtual world users, and anyone interested in what happens in virtual worlds and what it means for us as human (or virtual) beings.
