That is "virtual reality" for its own sake, rather than for instructional benefits. And consider those "concurrent users" including children. There is a lot of research about the pedagogical and epistemological opportunities in VR, but the cases were it is clearly beneficial are not numerous and probably only useful on Wikiversity, and I doubt you will find anyone advocating for the educational advantages of "interaction from .. concurrent [pseudonymous adults and children]". -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
