2020 #VWEDU: VWBPE: Virtual Worlds and Social Justice: An Impact and Civic Engagement Agenda.


Virtual Worlds and Social Justice: 
An Impact and Civic Engagement Agenda
Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Eduction
The current public health crisis has  brought about a rapid ‘revolution’ that many commentators have been evangelising about for some time. In many cases however it has resulted in a form of ‘remote teaching’, not online pedagogy. Indeed, a key question for all of us in education once this crisis is ‘over’, what will be the legacy of this ‘exodus to online education?’ 

Introduction: Heike Philp / Gwen Gwasi
