    The book deals with the challenges that arise when virtual worlds are used for learning and teaching. The ideas and practices emerging from this field are relevant to all educators, and offers insights into the development of a pedagogy that is authentic, inclusive and enjoyable. Each chapter addresses a particular issue and is illustrated with examples drawn from both research and practice. These examples cover a wide range of learning scenarios, both formal and informal, involving teenagers, school pupils, undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as a variety of lifelong learners. The issues include the importance of virtual worlds, the influence of online games and physical-world economics and politics, the relationship between avatars and learner identity, the challenges of ensuring child safety and protection, interaction between real-world and in-world environments and activities, accessibility and the development of new pedagogues. The authors are all teachers and learners in virtual worlds; many have been responsible for designing, programming and maintaining virtual environments.

  • CMO GUIDE TO SOCIAL MEDIA

    The proliferation of social networks, tools and platforms has dramatically changed the way we market products and services. And yet, in many ways, the principles of navigating this new world mark a return to the fundamentals of marketing: creating conversations, building relationships with customers, and using real metrics to measure success.

    The proliferation of social networks, tools and platforms has dramatically changed the way we market products and services. And yet, in many ways, the principles of navigating this new world mark a return to the fundamentals of marketing: creating conversations, building relationships with customers, and using real metrics to measure success.
    This guide is a collaboration between iStrategy, the world-class conference on marketing for CMOs, and eModeration, a global social media management agency that works with some of the biggest brands in the world. It is designed to provide a bird’s eye view of social media for CMOs, examining: what social media can and can’t be expected to achieve; the social principles of social media marketing; how consumers behave on social media (and what brands should expect); resourcing social media; moderating and managing communities online; the pitfalls and potential risks; and what you can (and what you can’t) measure in terms of ROI.
