Contests and dated calls/invitations
The Journal of Virtual Studies currently has a call for papers open. The journal is peer reviewed and focuses on the use of virtual spaces for knowledge immersion. Do you work or research in Second Life, OpenSim or any other virtual platform? Have you been engaged in research, exploration or reflection when using MMPORG’s? Have you discovered a virtual space with knowledge immersion possibilities or have you engaged in a fascinating new way to explore the virtual through any number of immersive online applications?
These and many other questions are explored by the JoVS. The Fall 2014 issue is expected to publish in September. For details, see here: Journal of Virtual Studies
