Research Interests
• Using virtual reality environments (e.g., Second Life) for teaching computer science, business and English (e.g., using virtual university campuses as “English villages”).
• Using virtual reality environments for teacher connections, communication and collaboration (groups could be region-‐ or subject-‐based, e.g., “Math Teachers in Asia”).
• Creating a K-‐12 and/or university grid for students and teachers around the world (could be Second Life islands for students 16+ and/or OpenSimulator grid for kids 3-‐15).
• Educational technology integration in schools to prepare teachers as well as students for 21st century employment. Interested in overcoming teacher reluctance re: technology.
• Creating specialized 3D and other inhouse programs, proprietary for training school personnel, or perhaps to use as a line of business to train people outside the school.
• Creating MOOCs using a combination of 3D and 2D delivery platforms (e.g., Second Life and Haiku LMS). Teaching conference hosts how to conduct operations virtually.
• Continuing to introduce game-‐based learning and gamification, teaching students how to create games and ultimately how to code full-‐scale Apple/Android apps.
