When Mark Zuckerberg announced the renaming of his company from
Facebook to Meta in 2021, he provoked a surge of interest in this
new thing, the Metaverse. But virtual worlds are nothing new, and
people have been learning in virtual worlds for over a decade. This
episode explores the thought of those who have tackled the
practical and philosophical questions that learning in virtual
worlds raises. And to be true to the spirit of the subject, Donald
and John conducted their discussion INSIDE a virtual
world.
